EY Bursary Programme

EY is dedicated to nurturing the Chartered Accountancy profession, supporting individuals from school through university and into the workforce. Bursaries are offered to students demonstrating commitment to becoming Chartered Accountants, with a focus on academic excellence and financial need. Recipients commit to working at EY during their training contract, typically lasting three years.

Two bursary types are available:

  1. Academic Merit with Financial Need Bursary: Covers tuition, accommodation, books, and/or meals.
  2. Academic Merit Bursary: Partially covers tuition fees.

Eligibility criteria include South African citizenship, a minimum academic record, enrollment at a SAICA-accredited university, and pursuing a relevant CA degree. Applications are open year-round.

Training contracts span three years, involving progression from assistant to supervisor roles and culminating in SAICA registration as a Chartered Accountant (CA(SA)).
