Learners bursaries

PwC has a bursary scheme that aims to attract exceptional young people who are unusually talented to the firm.

Bursaries are financial assistance given to students for further studies.

Bursaries are awarded to students with an outstanding academic track record at school and/or university.

Please bear in mind that bursaries do not generally cover the full costs of the tuition, accommodation and books and as a result applicants must be prepared to pay a portion of their tuition costs themselves.

Bursaries are also awarded on the condition that when you complete your studies successfully, you will be required to work for PwC on a training contract, gaining hands-on experience in the business.
