IDC External Bursary Scheme 2027
Industrial Development Corporation
Requires a 65% average — yours is currently 61.4%.
Listed from IDC official bursaries page, last checked 20 Aug 2026. Alogi tracks your applications — it never submits them for you.
You apply on the provider’s own site
A real screen. Change one mark and the second card changes with it.
First — where that average comes from
Your marks are worth more than a grade.
Alogi has no line into your university. No integration, no scraping, no import — you enter your marks yourself. That sounds like a downside right up until you see what it turns them into.
The number a bursary actually asks for
Your average, weighted by credits, in percentages — not a 4.0 GPA you would have to convert. Worked out for you, from the marks you entered.
Work you haven’t written yet doesn’t count against you
Three weeks into a term with one mark out of six, you see your standing — not a failing average. An unmarked assessment is unmarked, never a zero.
A partial result says it’s partial
“62% so far, based on 40% of the module.” Never a final-looking number built from a third of the evidence.
Modules under 50%, surfaced early
Early enough to do something about, and never as a surprise in the results letter.
You typed one mark into one module. Alogi turned it into your real average — and that number is the difference between a bursary you can get and an evening you wasted.
Everything here stays yours: you can see all of it, no other student can, and you can delete the lot from your settings.
So what does “qualify” actually mean?
Find out you don’t qualify in five seconds, not five hours.
Bursaries and scholarships, each one checked by a person against its original source — then checked again against you.
Checked against the profile you just built
Your real course, year, average and province, against what each listing actually requires — and one line telling you why you match, or why you don’t.
The requirement, in full
“Requires a 65% average — yours is currently 61.4%.” Shown, not hidden behind a filter that quietly removes it.
Haven’t entered your marks? You’re not ineligible
Alogi skips a check it can’t make rather than counting it against you. Not knowing something about you is never treated as bad news.
Track it from saved to offer
Seven stages, your own deadline on each one, and a reminder before it closes. A deadline you missed is shown, not quietly dropped.
Every listing shows where it came from.
The source, and the date a person last checked it, above a link to the provider’s own application page. Not an aggregator feed, not a scrape, not a dead link from three years ago.
You apply. Alogi keeps the record.
Applications happen on the provider’s own site, where they belong. Alogi never submits anything on your behalf — the status in your tracker literally reads “I applied”, because you did.
Aiming at what, though?
You can disagree with this one.
Alogi keeps saying “the career you’re aiming at”. This is where you work out what that is — and it doesn’t decide for you. It shows why certain paths fit your interests, values, strengths and skills, then lets you disagree.
Understand yourself
12 questions, about five minutes. What you enjoy, what you want from work, and what you think you’re good at.
Explore careers
35 curated careers across 10 families — each one showing the skills it actually asks for.
See the gaps
Matched against a catalogue of 58 skills, so a career you like turns into a specific thing to learn.
Choose your targets
Pick what you’re aiming at. Your CV, your interview practice and your mentor all sharpen around it.
Worth exploring
Data Analyst
- Matches your interest in analysing and problem-solving.
- Tends to offer independence, which you said matters to you.
- Draws on attention to detail, which you rated as a strength.
- You already list Excel and Statistics.
One skill you’re missing: SQL
No reasons, no match. A career that can’t say why it fits is shown as an ordinary listing, not dressed up as one.
This is a structured reflection, not a psychometric test. It doesn’t measure your ability and it doesn’t decide anything for you. It gives you a shortlist you can argue with — which is more than a score out of a hundred ever does.
Draft a CV from what, exactly?
Your CV writes itself from work you’ve already logged. Or it refuses.
Because a CV built out of nothing is worse than no CV at all — and you might send it to a real employer.
If you have done something
A CV built from what you actually did
- Drafts from your real profile, skills, logged experiences and the career you chose — into the form, for you to edit.
- Never straight into a file with your name on it. You read every line before it becomes your CV.
- Experience counts more widely than you think: projects, practicals, volunteering, leadership — not just paid work.
And if you haven’t, it says so
“Add your course, at least one skill and one experience first — Alogi drafts your CV from your real information, so there’s nothing to work from yet.”
Before the room, not in it
Practise on the answer you actually wrote
- Behavioural, technical, competency and screening questions — the ones that actually get asked.
- You write the answer. It is stored, so you can see what you said last time and whether it got better.
- The coaching is on the answer you wrote, not on the question — strengths, what to change, and why.
Calibrated to the career you chose
The same target that shaped your skills gap shapes the coaching — so you are not being prepped for a generic graduate role you never applied for.
Most students walk into their first interview never having said the answers out loud once. This is the part your degree genuinely does not cover.
Or build something of your own
An idea is not a business until something has tried to kill it.
Write the idea in your own words. Alogi turns it into the five things you would otherwise spend a semester learning to write — and then points at the one that could sink it.
01
Problem & solution fit
What the thing actually solves, and for whom — before anything else gets decided.
02
Target market
Who it is for, specifically enough to go and find ten of them this week.
03
Lean canvas
The key points, on one page, in the format investors and lecturers both already read.
04
Riskiest assumption
The single belief your idea dies without — and a cheap way to test it this week, not next term.
05
Ten-slide pitch outline
The deck structure, so the thing you say out loud matches the thing you wrote down.
The plan and the pitch outline are Alogi Pro — and your first seven days are Pro, so you can run this on a real idea before you decide whether it is worth paying for. Stated up front rather than discovered behind a paywall.

So do they actually work together?
The features are connected because you are.
Five sections in, a fair question: is this one system, or six tools behind one login? Here is the honest answer — one profile, and everything downstream of it.
- Academics
- Career
- Funding
- Preparation
- AI Mentor
- Community
Your marks
- your real credit-weighted average
- which bursaries you qualify for
- “Requires a 65% average — yours is currently 61.4%.”
Your career reflection
- your interests, values and strengths
- careers worth exploring, each with a reason
- the one skill you’re missing
Your target career
- your CV draft
- the interview coaching you get
- advice aimed at that career, not a generic one
Your institution, course and year
- funding eligibility
- career context
- communities for people in your position
Enter something once. It works in five places.
That’s what a command centre means. Not six tools behind one login — one system where your own information keeps paying off.
And one thing can see all of it.
Most AI advice starts from nothing, so you spend the first ten messages explaining yourself. Alogi’s mentor opens with your modules, your average, your deadlines and the career you chose — because all of that is already here.
It is told what it does notknow, too. Something you rated about yourself is treated as your opinion rather than a measurement, and it cannot invent an assignment, a deadline, a mark or a bursary — it will say plainly when there is nothing there.
Grounded in what’s true
Most student apps guess. This one shows its working.
Your student life is too important for made-up answers.
Real sources
Every funding listing names where it came from and the date a person checked it.
Real reasons
Every match tells you which part of your profile produced it. No score out of a hundred with nothing behind it.
Real data — yours
Nothing imported, guessed or bought. You enter it, you can see all of it, you can delete all of it, and no other student can see any of it.
Honest empty states
When Alogi doesn’t know something, it says so.

On a brand-new account, Alogi doesn’t show you a score. It shows you this:
Career readiness score
This counts verified skills, opportunities saved, applications you’ve logged and your CV. None of those exist yet, so there’s no score — not a low one.
That’s a deliberate decision, and it’s the whole difference. Every other product would have shown you a number.
If Alogi doesn’t know, it tells you.
- No invented marks.
- No made-up opportunities.
- No imaginary trends.
- No pretending an AI knows your future.
Just your information, connected properly.
Students are expected to make some of the biggest decisions of their lives while trying to keep up with lectures, assignments, money, careers and everything else around them.
I built Alogi because I believe students deserve one place that helps them see the whole picture — and gives them information they can trust.

Questions
Questions students actually ask.
What happens when the 7 days end?
The tools pause until you pick a plan. Nothing charges itself and nothing is deleted — your account stays open, everything you entered during the trial is still there, and you can sign in to read and export it whenever you like. Choose Plus or Pro and it all opens again exactly as you left it.
Do I need a card to start?
No. The trial does not ask for one and does not roll into a payment on its own. If you want to stay on Pro afterwards you choose to, from inside Alogi.
Does Alogi get my marks from my university?
No. There is no connection to any institution, and Alogi is not affiliated with one. You enter what you want it to know — which is also why you can delete all of it whenever you like.
How many bursaries are on there?
Not many yet, and every single one has been checked by a person against its original source. The catalogue is small on purpose — we would rather list a handful you can trust than four hundred you cannot.
Is the career reflection a psychometric test?
No. It is a structured reflection — twelve questions about what you enjoy, what you want from work and what you think you are good at. It does not measure ability and it does not decide anything. It gives you a shortlist and tells you how it got there.
Does Alogi apply for bursaries for me?
No. You apply on the provider’s own site. Alogi tracks where each application has got to, reminds you before deadlines, and never sends anything on your behalf.
Is the AI going to make things up?
It is built not to. It only sees what you have entered, it is instructed to say so when something is not there, and it is not given the funding listings at all — so it cannot invent a deadline it half-remembers.
Who can see my marks?
Only you. Not other students, not your university. Every table is locked to its owner at the database level, and we test that with a real second account rather than assuming it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It is built mobile-first, installs like an app from your browser, and is designed to work on a low-data connection.
Your degree is already one system. Your tools should be too.
