The Accenture Education Trust Scholarship supports South African students from low-income households to complete undergraduate or postgraduate study at selected tertiary institutions in South Africa. The fund is aimed at students with a strong academic record whose families cannot meet the full cost of higher education, with priority for households earning under R1 million per year. A full award covers a broad set of costs: registration fees, tuition fees, examination fees, meals, residence (accommodation), a book allowance and a laptop, so that a recipient can focus on study rather than funding. The scholarship is administered by the Accenture Education Trust Fund and runs for the academic year, with continued support generally tied to maintaining good academic standing. To apply, candidates submit an online application with certified supporting documents, including an identity document, a full academic record (with the most recent mid-year results or progress report), grade 12 results, proof of parents' or guardian's earnings below R1 million, and a CV. Because the number of awards, the covered amounts and the application window are set each year, confirm the exact current-cycle benefits, eligible institutions and closing date on the official Accenture Education Trust page before you apply.
