The FSCA will grant a bursary to a Grade 12 student for actuarial science studies through the University of Witwatersrand or the University of Pretoria, for easy communication and mentoring of the student. This bursary is targeted at previously disadvantaged South African students with a South African ID who are not able to further their career in the actuarial science field for the period 2022 to 2025.

The successful candidate will be required to enter into a work-back contract with the FSCA proportional to the number of years he/she has been funded by the FSCA.

- Registration and tuition fees;
- Accommodation;
