High-value notes (read this first)
This is a current 2027 funding update for Deloitte’s Chartered Accountancy pipeline. Your existing live post is an older Deloitte bursary entry, so this row is intended as a current-cycle update rather than a duplicate.
Deloitte frames this as a Financial Contribution Fund rather than a standard full bursary. Applicants should read the sponsor page carefully because the amount awarded varies according to academic performance, motivation and financial need.
About the sponsor
Deloitte South Africa is part of the Deloitte global professional services network. Its audit graduate and financial-contribution pathways support students who are working towards a Chartered Accountancy qualification and future Deloitte training contract.
What it covers
Deloitte states that the Financial Contribution is paid directly to the SAICA-accredited institution. The contribution pays for tuition and academic materials first; any amount remaining goes towards accommodation. Contributions are renewable each year based on academic performance for the full duration of undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
Eligibility

Closing date
30 September 2026 for Matric applications for 2027 university funding and undergraduate applications for 2026/2027 funding. PGDA / CTA applications remain open throughout the year.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming this is a general commerce bursary instead of a CA(SA)-aligned funding route
- Applying without understanding the Deloitte training-contract link
- Submitting outdated academic results
- Waiting until the end of September to create a Deloitte application profile
