FOREWORD

Postgraduate programmes at the University

of Cape Town play a vital role in

developing skills necessary for success in a knowledge-driven economy, both locally

and internationally. Our postgraduate

programmes span the basic disciplines as well as a range of applied and professional

areas in Commerce, Engineering and the

Built Environment, Health Sciences, Humanities, Law and Science. Our

commitment to being a high quality

research-led university means that our postgraduate students have the opportunity

to work with academics who are making

important contributions to new knowledge via their on-going research and professional

activities.

This booklet provides information on

potential sources of financial support for

postgraduate students. There are various categories of financial assistance

administered by the University and many

other agencies and donors. This booklet also provides information on a range of

postdoctoral fellowships. The opportunity

of a postdoctoral fellowship, following the successful completion of a doctoral degree,

is a useful career experience allowing a

researcher to develop further skills in knowledge creation and dissemination.

We hope that this booklet will be a useful

resource in identifying potential bursaries and scholarships. We wish you a successful

and enjoyable postgraduate and postdoctoral experience at the University of

Cape Town.

Professor Danie Visser

Deputy Vice-Chancellor

PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

This Booklet is intended as a guide for

students who will register for Honours, Masters or Doctoral study and who require financial assistance, and for Doctoral

graduates seeking financial support for

postdoctoral research. The financing of

postgraduate study invariably takes the

form of a combination of scholarships or bursaries, part-time employment within or

outside the university, student loans,

personal savings and assistance from families.

The university aims to provide financial

assistance that will contribute towards the costs of tuition and accommodation. This

goal requires more money than the

university has available. It is therefore vital that students needing assistance approach

as many sources as possible in addition to

applying to UCT.

All awards offered by the university are

limited to South African citizens and

permanent residents, with the exception

of the UCT Research Associateships, the

International and Refugee Students'

Scholarships, and the Travel grants.

The University administered awards

appearing in this booklet are not

available for the 4th year of Bachelor

degrees Advanced, the HDE or the LLB

and BArch degrees. Students wishing to

follow these courses are referred to

booklet 13 "Financial Assistance for

Undergraduate Study" issued by the

Undergraduate Student Financial Aid

office.

Applying for Funding

The primary and most substantial form of

assistance for students who undertake

Honours, Masters and Doctoral study are the awards granted on the basis of

academic performance.

It is important that students and prospective

postdoctoral research fellows applying for

funding comply with the requirements and submit applications on time and by the

specific closing date. Late and incomplete

applications will be disqualified.

Merit Awards

The major source of merit-based awards

are the state-funded Research Council. (See

Section 1). Students requiring UCT merit

awards must apply, in the first instance, to

the NRF.

Research Associateships are awarded to the

most outstanding Masters and Doctoral students on the basis of nomination by their

Departments. (See Section 2.)

UCT also awards scholarships each December to graduating students who have

performed exceptionally well at UCT.

Recipients are identified by the university and an application form for this category of

award is not required. (See Section 7.)

Scholarships and bursaries funded from a

variety of sources are available. These may

be awarded to Heads of Departments or supervisors to grant to students working on

specific projects or programmes.

Candidates should enquire as to the availability of such awards by consulting

their Heads or Supervisors.

Financial Need

Prospective postgraduate students who are

financially needy are required to complete

the relevant section of the UCT Form 10A and to provide the required supporting

documentation. Such students will be

means-tested, and where the means-test is met, a combination of bursaries may be

offered.

Students who do not meet the means-test criteria will be assessed for partial need and

an award may be offered in such cases.

It is important to note that:

1. Resources for student support are limited. Therefore the University of

Cape Town can give no guarantee

whatsoever that an applicant will receive funding support.

2. The submission of an application form does not guarantee the provision of a

loan or an award.

It is important to be aware that the

university cannot consider assistance for

the cost of dependents. Students must make arrangements to meet the cost of support of

dependents where applicable.

Section 4 lists awards administered

independently of UCT and enquiries should be directed to the Administrators/Trustees

indicated.

EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO

SECURE ASSISTANCE FROM

SOURCES EXTERNAL TO UCT.

International and Refugee Students

A limited number of scholarships are

available to non-South African graduates

who are residents of countries other than

South Africa. These are awarded on a

competitive basis with emphasis given to academic merit and to the seniority of

candidates.

The scholarships do not provide full-cost

support. All UCT International and

Refugee Students Scholarships are

supplementary. Applying students must

ensure that they have sufficient support

for their studies. The scholarships are

renewable for the duration of the course of study subject to satisfactory progress being

maintained, up to a limit of 1 year at

Honours level; for the 1st and 2nd years of Masters study, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of Doctoral study. Applications for

funding cannot be processed unless Applicants apply for admission through the

UCT Admissions Office or the Faculty

Office.

Employment

Individuals who are employed full-time (more than 20 hours per week) are not

eligible for UCT funding support.

The regulations governing the NRF/ MRC

bursaries and UCT awards permit some

degree of concurrent part-time employment. Demonstratorships, Teaching

Assistantships or Research Assistantships

may be offered by your Department and details should be obtained from your

supervisor or Head of Department. Subject

to limitations on remuneration, award-holders may undertake part-time

employment, provided weekly duties do

not exceed 12 hours NRF (SET), 12 hours

NRF (SSH), 12 hours (UCT Research

Associateships).

Duration of Scholarship and

Bursary Assistance

Research Council bursaries and UCT awards may be held for:

the first year of the Honours degree only;

the 1st and 2nd year of Masters study, and

the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of Doctoral study. Renewal of awards for Masters and Doctoral study each year is subject to satisfactory progress and continued

evidence of need in the case of need-

based bursaries, and on the availability of funds. Students must make every effort to

complete their studies within these periods.

It is important to note that funding will not

be available beyond the above-mentioned tenures.

NOTE: STUDENTS STUDYING FOR A

SECOND DEGREE AT THE SAME LEVEL (e.g. Honours Graduate doing a

second Honours Degree) ARE

INELIGIBLE FOR UCT FUNDING.

Applications for renewal and continued

assistance must be submitted annually by the relevant closing dates. Renewal of

awards is NOT automatic and eligible

students are required to apply for renewal annually.

Application for Admission to Study

and Registration

Applicants for financial assistance who are

not already registered for the degree of their choice are reminded that they must

also apply for admission to the University

and should consult UCTs Admissions Office or relevant Faculty Office for the

closing dates. Although funding selection

committees consider applicants who may not yet be registered for study,

bursaries/scholarships that may be offered

can only be claimed by students who have been accepted by the relevant academic

department for the course/programme for

which they applied.

Scholarships for International

Study

The University does not offer scholarships for international study. However the

respective research councils NRF (SET),

NRF (SSH) & MRC are a major source of assistance for overseas study at the

DOCTORAL degree level. Such overseas

awards are made on the basis of academic excellence and the significance of the

proposed study. Certain overseas

universities may offer scholarships or bursaries to international students, or may

be in a position to offer part-time

employment in the form of Assistantships

or Fellowships, which often include a

waiver of academic fees. Students are

advised to check with their intended institutions. Section 6 provides information

on independently administered awards for

study at overseas universities.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

This Booklet includes a number of

opportunities for Postdoctoral research fellowships (See Section 5). However, the

majority of opportunities are offered by

independent donors and interested parties are advised to check with their department

Heads and with the Postgraduate Funding

Office regularly.

CONTENTS

In addition to the awards listed, certain other awards exist which are not acceptable in an open

SECTION 2

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS AND ASSOCIATESHIPS

FOR STUDY AT UCT

University Research Scholarships

Candidates who are eligible for support from the NRF (SET & SSH) who fail to submit a completed

application by the University's due date, will not be eligible for the Honours or Masters research scholarship. It is important therefore that eligible candidates apply for BOTH UCT merit and NRF awards.

With the exception of the University Research Associateships, UCT Research scholarships and NRF grant Holder-linked bursaries may not be held concurrently with any NRF award, but may be

supplemented, within certain limits, by income from part-time employment and/or other awards.

PLEASE NOTE: These awards are NOT GUARANTEED and depend on availability of funds.

University Research Associateships

Research Associateships for Masters and Doctoral study are offered by the University. Candidates do not apply directly for Associateships but may be nominated by Heads of Departments or research supervisors. Associateships may be held concurrently with standard Research Council

bursaries and limited part-time employment. They are intended to reduce the need for senior

students to supplement their income by engaging in part-time work unrelated to their research.
