Bursary Highlights

Applications are open for the Metacom Foundation Bursary 2025 applications.

The Metacom Foundation recognizes the importance of ICT in the digital era, and is committed to equip young women with the tools and guidance they need to succeed.

About the Metacom Foundation Bursary

The Metacom Foundation is more than just a bursary, it is a program that equips women with the tools and guidance to better their lives and uplift their communities.

We also provide emotional and well-being support so that students have the guidance to be successful and make the most of their education.

This will be done through tutoring, mentors, and wellness sessions, as well as students being assigned a ‘big sister’ – one who has previously been successful within the program and will give back by mentoring the younger students.

The Metacom Foundation program is designed to empower young women in the field of Information and Communication Technology and related fields through academic funding, mentorship, and emotional and well-being support.
