Bursary Opportunities for ICA Students

ICA Chef Diploma

A Unique Pathway to Clinary Excellence

ICA is proud to announce the potential availability of bursaries for students enrolled in our 3-year Diploma Programmes. While these bursaries are not guaranteed, ICA follows a formal application process annually to secure funding for eligible students.

Historically, these grants were reserved for public training providers, making ICA the only private institution selected to participate. This recognition is based on our accreditation, industry reputation and high training standards, ensuring we produce top-tier culinary professionals.

“ICA was identified and selected as a highly regarded private provider with the necessary accreditations, outstanding industry reputation, and exceptional training standards.”
— Anina Bothma, Consultant-liaison & External Moderator, USA

Funding eligibility depends on factors such as grant availability, student nationality, and successful completion of the first year of study. While the process is comprehensive and subject to external conditions, ICA remains committed to supporting students in achieving their culinary dreams.

For details on the bursary application process, students will be informed by our admissions team as opportunities arise.
