A bursary is financial assistance given to students for study or
training. Each bursary gives different amounts of money and lasts for
different periods. The assistance is given to students selected according to
various criteria set by the donors and could include academic merit or
financial need. Each bursary has specific conditions attached to it, for
example, you may have to work for the company for as long as you have held the
bursary, or you may have to be active in your community.
A scholarship is an amount of money
given to a student of academic merit. Each scholarship has different
conditions.

Chartered Accountants) assists academically-talented black students to
pursue a B Com Accounting degree in order to become Chartered Accountants [CAs(SA)].

Bursary. This is a unique bursary in that, if chosen, you get placed in one

Vacation Programmes and Vacation Work
Vacation programs, or "Vac" programmes, are offered twice a year; once
in June and July and again in November and December. Vac programmes
typically last a week and are designed to give students exposure to the
basic principles of auditing and accounting through the use of case
studies, business exercises and business simulations.
There is also an opportunity for Vacation employment or "Vac" work,
offering students the opportunity to be part of an actual audit and to
work at one of our client sites. Allowing students to move from theory to
practice, Vac work provides relevant and practical audit exposure.
Both Vac programs and Vac work help us to assess a student's
interaction skills in a team environment and assist in making our
selection for training contracts.
