Bursary: Computer Science / Part-time job

Hi guys,
I'm a 2nd yr student studying a Bsc IT(computer science/Informatics) at the university of JHB. Anyone knows where I could get a bursary, I get 75% average in all my subjects...??

Thanks

Checked them out already, only sasol is still open...

Or even a part time job relating to computers will do...

Hey!
This is a link to the undergraduate "Bursary and Loan Opportunities for Undergraduate Study" handbook at UCT. Maybe you can find something there.

The University also has a bursary booklet. They are normally available at the admin/finance department next to the auditorium (unless it has moved in the last coupld of years)

It might also be available on the website.

Your university should have book with a list of bursaries. Go check out the careers centre equivalent or guidance centre - not sure what the different universities call them.

If you doing your post grad in a couple years time - be sure to also check out the NRF scarce skills bursary. A lot of the time their bursaries are under subscribed

By the way, does anyone know of any scholarships or bursaries available to South Africans studying abroad? I am doing a engineering masters program in Switzerland and am slowly but surely running out of funds. Thanks

Ericsson run a graduate program, maybe phone them and see if they offer bursaries as well.

75% average means UJ is already giving you a decent "bursary" or discount.

If you're looking to secure yourself a job, maybe go through the job sites/news paper looking for companies that are offering junior positions and approach the HR manager/director directly.

I'm a developer and there's no way I'd want to work for any of those cattle farmes already mentioned.

They did give me a discount, its just that it's a very minute one...

Are you a white male?

Then it's difficult to find a bursary.


Good luck bud.
