BDO awards bursaries to students studying towards a Chartered Accountancy qualification. Preference is given to well-rounded individuals who perform equally well in all areas of their lives. Bursaries are financial assistance given to students for further study for either degree, diploma or post graduate studies. Bursaries are awarded on a financial needs basis and are linked to satisfactory academic achievements with a solid academic track record at school or university.
Students who are awarded a bursary are required to serve a training contract with the specific office who awarded the bursary on completion of their studies.

Our bursaries do not cover all study expenses and only covers registration fees, tuition fees and books for each year of study. Students have to therefore be prepared to meet some of the costs. Applications are collected and processed throughout the course of the year, due to the number of applicants, applicants may only receive feedback towards the end of the year.
