PwC: Bursaries for the academic year 2025

Bursaries are awarded to students who wish to pursue a career as a Chartered Accountant, for studies towards the appropriate SAICA accredited degree.

Students can apply at any time during or before their studies. Successful candidates will begin their learnership after having completed their honours degree or after receiving their Certificate in the Theory of Accounting (CTA).

Bursaries will provide cover based on academic performance and financial need:

  • Academic achievement award: recipients will receive a fixed amount that covers tuition fees and a book allowance.
  • Tuition and/or accommodation bursary: recipients will receive cover based on a percentage (between 20% to 100%), for tuition fees and a book allowance. Students in great financial need will also receive cover based on a percentage (from 20% to 100%), for accommodation and a once-off living allowance.

The bursary does not cover Bridging Courses to qualify for the appropriate post-graduate studies.
