Bursaries for 2023

CIMA, ACCA, ICB & CFA

This Way Up.

We are looking for accounting hopefuls to benefit from our special bursary programmes.

The biggest loss is not the students who don't study further, but those who do take up further studies but fail to complete. 

Students stop studying because of circumstances, finance, struggling to pass, and lack of support. Our aim is to get studying students to the end - professionally qualified and employed.

We are changing the economic landscape one student at a time.
You are the hope of the future. I hope you know that.
