Those studying for a B.Com degree along with an ACCA certification can avail themselves of multiple scholarship opportunities. Universities normally set up funding specific for accounting, business or finance students. Such scholarships can either be merit-based or need-based, which in turn can help lessen the burden of tuition payments. Also, some institutions grant awards to students with notable high academic achievements or exceptional leadership in other activities.
Apart from the universities, the ACCA also awards scholarships for students. Specifically, the ACCA has funding support available under its Global Scholarships Program aimed at helping those students who are pursuing ACCA qualifications. This organization also partners with many institutions and companies to provide this type of sponsorship for students with limited financial resources. In both cases, students are encouraged to find scholarship opportunities within their university ACCA’s website. Besides these, there are other subsidized schemes and privately funded scholarships available for students pursuing accounting and finance. Students should also make a note of the deadlines and the criteria of eligibility so they do not miss out on opportunities.
