Aspiring CA(SA) learners who wish to apply for the bursary must:
Have obtained at least 60% (5 or above on the NSC Scale of Achievement) in Mathematics (NOT Maths Literacy) in Grade 11;
Be a South African Citizen;
Be African or Coloured;
Be in Grade 12 and applied (or be in the process of applying) for a BCom Accounting degree at a SAICA-accredited university offering the Thuthuka programme; and

Request an application form by calling 086 107 2422.
What can you expect after you apply?
If you meet the selection criteria, you will be asked to apply to two of the TBF-approved universities around the country. (One of which must be the TBF university closest to your home.)
You will then be put through a vigorous selection, screening and assessment process, where the TBF university teams will identify possible candidates.
Following the release of your Grade 12 matric results, successful candidates will be contracted and admitted to university as a Thuthuka Bursary Fund student.
If you love maths and are dreaming of becoming a CA(SA), this is your chance to make that dream a reality.
Apply today before the applications close on 30 April 2017.
