Bursaries
We understand that the path leading to your goals of success and a fulfilling career is not always easy, which is why we offer you bursary assistance to help you reach your dreams. If you are keen to enter into the exciting world of finance – then apply for a bursary at Absa.
The Absa objective is to address critical skill needs within the financial services industry by affording dynamic, top-performing, full-time students the opportunity to complete their studies and potentially pursue a career in Absa.
Absa bursaries will be made available to students studying fulltime towards B degrees that will provide essential or identified skills within the Financial Services Industry. The ultimate aim of this process would be to offer deserving bursary holders a position within Absa once they complete their studies.
You may apply for an Absa bursary if:
- You have not received any other bursary or assistance
- You are pursuing a course of study in a discipline that will benefit the Banking Industry
- You are registered at a recognised Tertiary Education Institution in South Africa
- You are a Pan African citizen
What does the bursary include?
The bursary includes full tuition fees and will be paid out according to the annual bursary award and the individual’s needs. You will be assessed every year and if your performance is satisfactory, Absa will continue to sponsor you.
When will applications open and close?
The opening and closing date for applications will be published on this page closer to the time. Please check back periodically from mid April 2013
