KPMG invites students to apply for CA Bursaries Programme 2023 academic year.
Bursary Application Closing Date: 31 December 2022
KPMG offers 2 types of bursaries, for studies towards SAICA accredited Chartered Accounting or CAs(SA) studies:
1) Pure merit bursary: awarded based on academic results alone, for students who don’t need extensive funding.
2) Merit bursary with financial need: awarded based on academic results AND financial need, for students who would not be able to attend university without funding.
KPMG reserves the right to decide whether students should receive the Pure Merit Bursary or the Merit Bursary with Financial Needs, as well as to determine the value of the bursary.
KPMG reserves the right to determine the length of the bursary award, as well as the amount, depending on satisfactory academic performance of the student and availability of funds.
Bursary recipients will be required to enter into a learnership (training contract) with KPMG, after graduation.
