You have been dreaming of becoming a CA (chartered accountant) for long now. Or maybe you wished to be a financial manager, accounting officer, state accounting admin, or just to work in the finance department.
Now that you are in Grade 12 you are just left with a few steps to achieving that dream. But yet varsity fees are also giving you a headache. You just don't know whether it would ever become possible for you to study towards that accounting qualification because your parents may not afford to take you to school.
The Bursary Bin was started with people like you in mind, people who need a bursary loan, or scholarship to go ahead with their education and -therefore- also better their lives.
Below are a number of bursaries and information on how to apply (the selection criterion is also included where possible):
