Update on the DigitAll Bursary Scheme

Due to an overwhelming number of applications, we are temporarily pausing our bursary scheme to review and refine the process. Our goal has always been to ensure that support reaches those who need it most, and we are working hard behind the scenes to improve accessibility and sustainability for the future.

We appreciate your understanding and will share updates as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
