SAICA Trainee and Thuthuka
beneficiary
Let Thuthuka inspire you to success
Every year, the South Africa Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (SAICA’s) Thuthuka Bursary funds
African and Coloured students at selected SAICA-accredited universities in fully funded and supported
undergraduate BCom Accounting, PGDA and CA stream programmes to help them reach their dream
of becoming a Chartered Accountant [CA(SA)].
What is Thuthuka?
Thuthuka is a bursary like no other. Covering more than just your tuition, books, meals and
accommodation, Thuthuka also offers additional psycho-social and academic support to assist you in
bridging the gap between high school, university and the world of work. Thuthuka provides the support
system that enables you to succeed and realise your dream of becoming a CA(SA). So, if you’re an African
or Coloured Grade 12 learner who is achieving a level 5 pass in Maths (not Maths Literacy) or a university
student studying a CA-stream undergraduate BCom Accounting or PGDA programme and you need
financial assistance, Thuthuka is a solution for you. To find out more about the Thuthuka Education
Upliftment Fund (TEUF), go to the SAICA website www.saica.org.za/initiatives/thuthuka
To apply for the Thuthuka bursary, visit www.thuthukabursaryfund.co.za/
Take note that Thuthuka applications open every year in March and close in August.
