About This Opportunity

The ICAS Foundation programme supports academically talented young people from less advantaged backgrounds by helping them take their first steps into a professional career in accountancy or finance. The programme provides comprehensive support to UK students studying Accountancy or Finance at the University of Edinburgh. ICAS Foundation programme students receive a financial bursary of up to £2,500 each year to assist with study costs, normally available for the duration of a student's undergraduate degree. Additionally, students receive mentoring from an experienced Chartered Accountant and assistance in finding internships and graduate roles. Students must maintain an academic standard that would eventually lead to a 2:1 Honours classification.
