The Accenture Education Trust scholarship

Accenture has funded South African students for many years through its Education Trust. The scholarship is open for the 2027 academic year on the Accenture careers portal, but the trust does not publish a closing date. Instead, the trust closes the call once it receives enough applications.

That approach rewards early applicants. A student who waits for a traditional September or October deadline may find the call already closed, so interested students should apply as soon as they have their documents ready.

What BursariesAfrica could not confirm

Accenture’s South African careers pages focus on jobs for graduates and professionals, and BursariesAfrica could not find detailed Education Trust criteria on those pages when researching this profile. The requirements on our scholarship page come from Accenture’s published call; confirm them on the portal before applying, especially the fields of study and the year levels the trust accepts.

How to research Accenture

Accenture organises its careers site by area of interest, such as technology and operations. Reading those pages shows the kinds of roles Accenture fills, from building technology systems to running intelligent operations for large organisations, and helps scholarship applicants describe a realistic career goal. Accenture also highlights upskilling and reskilling programmes for staff, which suggests the company values continued learning.

Ask your university’s IT or engineering faculty whether current students hold Accenture Education Trust scholarships, and whether the scholarship includes vacation work or graduate recruitment. Keep a copy of your submitted application, because a call without a fixed closing date gives no warning before it ends.

Be careful with scholarship adverts that ask for payment or personal banking details. Accenture’s genuine calls appear on accenture.com, and applying costs nothing.

Students who apply and hear nothing for several weeks can contact Accenture through the careers portal to check the status of their application. Keep applying to other technology funders while you wait, so a single outcome does not decide your funding.

Technology students can compare Accenture with other funders on our IT bursaries page.
