How this page was researched
The Gauteng Provincial Treasury’s pages were not readable when BursariesAfrica researched this profile on 15 September 2026. The information here comes from a provider record checked in August 2026 and from BursariesAfrica’s earlier guide to the Treasury’s bursary. Check all details with the Treasury before applying.
A bursary aimed at no-fee schools
The Gauteng Provincial Treasury’s bursary stands out because of who it targets. The programme supports students from no-fee schools in Gauteng, the public schools in the poorest communities that do not charge fees. Learners from those schools often have fewer paths into professional careers, so the Treasury’s focus widens access to finance professions.
The bursary aims to build financial skills that match the Treasury’s mandate, in fields such as accounting, auditing and financial management, according to BursariesAfrica’s earlier guide.
What is not yet confirmed
BursariesAfrica’s Treasury bursary guide has not been refreshed with 2027 dates, and BursariesAfrica could not confirm a current call. Treat the guide as background, and do not rely on dates from older adverts.
How learners and students can check the bursary
Email the Gauteng provincial government’s hotline or call the switchboard and ask for the Treasury’s bursary office. Ask whether a bursary will open for 2027, which qualifications it will fund, how the Treasury confirms that an applicant attended a no-fee school, and whether bursars must work for the provincial government afterwards.
Grade 12 learners at no-fee schools should ask their principal or life orientation teacher to watch for the Treasury’s advert, because schools sometimes receive bursary information directly. Keep your school reports and a letter from your school confirming its no-fee status ready.
Accounting students who want to work in government can also look at the Auditor-General of South Africa and national departments, which recruit finance graduates. A Treasury bursary could lead to a career that moves between provincial finance, auditing and policy work, so think about which of those interests you most before your interview.
Accounting students can compare the Treasury with other funders on our Accounting Bursaries page.
