Sage is a global leader in accounting, payroll, and business management software, with a significant South African operation. Its External Bursary Programme funds students through the bursary administrator StudyTrust.
Sage restricts funding to Computer Science, Engineering, IT, and Accounting/Finance - with an exception for students with disabilities, who may apply in any field - because these are the disciplines that feed directly into the software and financial-technology skills the company depends on. Its income band (R350,000-R600,000 household income) targets the same "missing middle" many corporate bursaries now focus on.
There is no formal employment work-back obligation - the bursary is framed as broad skills investment rather than a recruitment contract.
