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.
