Gauteng is South Africa's most populous province and its main centre for finance, government and business services. Many national companies have their head offices here, but their bursaries are usually open to students from anywhere in the country, so you will find those on our main Bursaries page. The opportunities on this page are the ones specific to Gauteng.
They include provincial programmes, metropolitan and municipal bursaries, and funding that gives preference to young people from the province. These often ask for proof of residence in Gauteng or in a named municipality, such as a utility bill or a letter from the municipality. Check each listing for the exact area, because requirements differ between municipalities.
