Applications are now open for the 2025 Ernst & Young (EY) CA STREAM Bursary. EY is committed to growing and transforming the Chartered Accountancy profession. Importantly, we believe in individual development from school level through university and into the world of work.
Bursaries are awarded to individuals who commit to qualifying as Chartered Accountants and have an academic record that indicates the ability to do so regarding financial need. In return for the bursary, the student must work at EY for the duration of their training contract (a minimum of three years).
There are two types of bursaries open for application.
- Academic Merit with Financial Need Bursary: This covers one or more or a combination of tuition, accommodation, books and meals.
- Academic Merit Bursary: This covers a portion of the tuition fees
Eligibility requirements
The first requirement to be eligible for a bursary is South African citizenship and a valid South African identity document. EY require an academic record of a minimum of four A’s, excluding Life Orientation, that you will be studying toward a relevant CA degree (three to four years) and a year of Accounting Honours/Certificate in Theory in Accounting (CTA). Further, it would be best if you were accepted and enrolled at a SAICA (South African Institute of Chartered Accountants) accredited University.
