KPMG Bursaries

At KPMG, two bursary opportunities are offered for students who are studying towards becoming SAICA accredited Chartered Accountants or CAs(SA).

KPMG bursaries are classified into Pure Merit Bursary and Merit Bursary with Financial Needs. Both require excellent academic performance and records as a basis.

Pure Merit Bursary is for qualified applicants who do not need extensive funding for studies.

Merit Bursary with Financial Needs bursary is for qualified applicants who are unable to attend university without significant financial support.

Bursaries are awarded according to the skills needed in the professional services marketplace as well as KPMG’s skills needs.

KPMG reserves the right to solely determine whether you should be awarded the Pure Merit Bursary or the Merit Bursary with Financial Needs and to determine the amount awarded under such bursary. KPMG further reserves the right to solely determine whether you should receive this award in subsequent years and if so the amount thereof, which will depend on the satisfactory progress made by you and the availability of funds to KPMG.
