BSG BURSARY PROGRAMME
Helping to connect the world of university to the world of work
BSG is a homegrown South African Consulting and Technology company, founded in 1997 when Greg Reis, had a vision of creating a company on the basis of optimising young talent and making a difference.

HEAR FROM PAST BSG BURSARY RECIPIENTS
Lithabo
“The BSG bursary came at a time when I had no idea how I would fund my Honours studies. It was more than just financial support; by removing the heavy weight of financial stress, I could focus fully on my studies. That opportunity opened the door to the BSG Graduate Development Programme, where my career truly began. This experience showed me the life-changing impact of investing in people’s education. It not only shapes careers but also unlocks potential that can create lasting change.”
Banele
“The BSG bursary supported my Honours studies, enabling me to focus on learning rather than worrying about finances. I accepted it because, beyond the financial assistance, BSG also gave me the opportunity to showcase my skills through an in-person interview. BSG bursary opened the door to a Graduate Development Programme opportunity, where you can gain hands-on experience, learn from experienced developers, and grow into a stronger professional.
Armaan
“The BSG bursary eased my financial stress and gave me peace of mind, knowing I’d have a job secured for the following year. I accepted it because BSG values personal growth. I would recommend it to anyone for the exposure to diverse industries and training opportunities that build skills and broaden career possibilities.”
Naledi
“In 2024, I made the big decision to continue my studies. Although it was the right choice, I hesitated because I did not have the means to fund my education. It was a stressful time not only for me but also for my parents. When I saw the BSG bursary advertisement, I applied. The process was simple, which helped with the anxiety I was feeling. A few months later, I received the news that my student debt had been cleared. I was ecstatic – I regained the confidence I had lost and was finally able to continue studying without worrying about debt. Thank you, BSG, for not only believing in me and my dreams, but also for lifting the financial burden from my family and me.”
