Royal Bafokeng Holdings CA Bursary: Your Path to Becoming a Chartered Accountant
Aspiring Chartered Accountants from the Royal Bafokeng Nation have a significant opportunity to fund their education through the Royal Bafokeng Holdings (RBH) CA Bursary Programme for 2027. This bursary aims to support young individuals committed to pursuing a career in accounting and who meet specific academic and residency criteria. Understanding the application process and requirements is key to successfully securing this valuable financial aid.
About the RBH CA Bursary Programme
The Royal Bafokeng Holdings CA Bursary Programme is designed to empower students from the Royal Bafokeng Nation who wish to become Chartered Accountants (CA). For the 2027 academic year, RBH is offering financial support to first-year students who have gained acceptance into an Accounting Sciences degree with a Chartered Accountant stream at a public South African university recognized by SAICA (South African Institute of Chartered Accountants). This initiative underscores RBH’s commitment to developing skilled professionals within its community.
Fields of Study Covered
The bursary exclusively supports students pursuing a qualification specifically geared towards becoming a Chartered Accountant. The approved field of study is Accounting Sciences, with a focus on the Chartered Accountant (CA) stream. This means that while other accounting-related degrees might exist, only those directly leading to the CA qualification will be funded under this program.
Eligibility Criteria for Applicants
To be considered for the RBH CA Bursary Programme, applicants must meet a strict set of requirements. Firstly, they must be South African citizens and identify as unemployed youth from the Royal Bafokeng Nation. A crucial requirement is acceptance into an Accounting Sciences program within the Chartered Accountant stream at a SAICA-recognized public South African university. Applicants must be entering their first year of study in 2027 and cannot be receiving funding from any other bursary program, including NSFAS, in the same academic year.
Academic Requirements
Strong academic performance is a cornerstone of the RBH CA Bursary selection process. Applicants must demonstrate a solid foundation in key subjects. Specifically, a minimum level 5 achievement in Mathematics is required. Similarly, English and Accounting must also have a minimum level 5. It is important to note that learners who have taken Maths Literacy or Technical Mathematics will not be considered for this bursary.
Essential Documents for Application
A complete application requires several certified documents. Applicants must provide a certified copy of their South African ID, which should not be older than three months. Proof of residence, in the form of a Lekwalo la Kgosana (Chief’s letter), also not older than three months, is mandatory. A certified copy of the Matric certificate will be needed once results are published, but Grade 11 results and Grade 12 results from Term 1 to Term 3 must be submitted. Additionally, proof of provisional or official university acceptance is required.
The Selection Process
Candidates who meet the initial criteria will be shortlisted for further consideration. RBH will directly contact those selected for the next stages of the selection process. Applicants who do not receive communication from Royal Bafokeng Holdings by August 31, 2026, should assume their application has been unsuccessful. This timeline allows for a thorough review of all submitted applications.

Applications for the RBH CA Bursary Programme must be submitted online. Prospective applicants need to complete the official RBH bursary application form. All required certified documents must be uploaded to the online portal before the application closing date.
