The SIG scholarship for in-service teachers has been released with 73 names on the list ranging from those in the provinces to education authorities.
The Solomon Islands Tertiary Education and Skills Authority (SITESA) has the list on it’s website and it consists of categories of combined pre-service, in-service public service and in-service private.
This takes the total of SIG scholarships on public record to be 984.
SITESA published the first three categories of scholarships Wednesday last week, totaling 911 recipients.
The SIG Scholarship list for 2026 was officially endorsed by Education Minister, Tozen Leokana on February 5, during which it was announced that 1,440 scholarship spaces were offered.
This means 456 scholarship recipients have not yet been announced by SITESA.
There is however a category in the SITESA website which remains unlocked – Inservice Closed. This could hold the remaining 456 names.
SITESA could not be reached yesterday for comments.
