Let Thuthuka inspire you to success
Every year, the South African 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.
