PwC’s Flying Start Financial Bursary

The Flying Start financial bursary is aimed at supporting students with the day-to-day costs of university life. At PwC, the development and wellbeing of our people is paramount and we’re delighted to be able to award such a substantial bursary to support our students to be the best they can be. If you meet the eligibility, and you join one of our applicable Flying Start Accounting programmes in autumn 2025, a £10,000 bursary will be awarded to you, split across the four years of the degree.

If you believe you’re eligible for the financial bursary and you apply for one of the applicable Flying Start Accounting programmes we’ll be in touch with you during the application process to outline the next steps. This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your confidence, your skills for the future, and your experience of work and university, all while being supported financially.

To be eligible, you must have:·

• ‘Home' funding status, which means you’re living in the UK or Republic of Ireland, and EU nationals with settled status in the UK
• applied to study on the Flying Start Accounting undergraduate degree programme (and subsequently successfully start on the programme in September 2025)
• a household income between £0-£35,000 per annum as assessed by Student Finance (this will be assessed once you are accepted onto the degree programme and apply to Student Finance)
• demonstrated a commitment to a career in audit at PwC during the assessment process
• attended a non-fee paying school (unless you received a bursary or scholarship to attend in which case we’ll review on a case-by-case basis).
