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

INTRODUCTION

This Booklet is intended as a guide for

students who will register for full-time Honours, Master’s 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 or Postgraduate

Diplomas, 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, Master’s and Doctoral study on a

full-time basis 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 sources of merit-based awards

are the two state-funded Research

Councils. (See Section 1). Students

requiring UCT merit awards must apply, in

the first instance, to the NRF or MRC.

UCT Research Scholarships are intended

for students who are eligible for NRF

(SET), NRF (SSH) and MRC bursaries but are unsuccessful with their applications. An

application form for this category of award

is not required (See Section 2).

Research Associateships are awarded to the

most outstanding Master’s and Doctoral

students on the basis of nomination by their Departments. (See Section 2.)

UCT also offers 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.

Bursaries Awarded on Basis of

Financial Need

It is important to note that funding at the postgraduate level is not the same as the

FINANCIAL AID available for

undergraduate study. Full-cost financial aid packages are not available to

postgraduate students. Postgraduate

students are therefore required to attempt to secure funds from as many external sources

as possible.

Bursaries offered by UCT for financially

needy students are available only to South

African citizens and permanent residents

and are listed under Section 3.

Despite active steps taken by UCT, it

may prove impossible to support all

needy postgraduate students. All

students assessed as eligible for

assistance in the form of a need-based

bursary must themselves provide some

of their costs. Students applying for

financial assistance will be assessed for

assistance but MUST ensure that they

are able to provide some contribution

towards their studies, via their own

resources, external bursaries or part-

time employment.

Students must note that:

1. Funding is NOT guaranteed

2. The university does not offer

FULL-COST support and

3. The University is not responsible

for the outstanding fee debt of any

student.

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 Master’s 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.

Part-time Employment

The regulations governing the NRF/ MRC

bursaries and UCT awards permit some

degree of concurrent part-time employment.

Individuals who are employed full-time are not eligible for UCT funding support.

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), 9 hours (MRC), 12 hours

(UCT Research Scholarship) or 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 Master’s study, and

the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of Doctoral study. Renewal of awards for Master’s

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 UCT’s 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 at UCT (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

9 UCT RESEARCH AWARDS (AT UCT)

SECTION 2

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS AND

ASSOCIATESHIPS FOR STUDY AT UCT

University Research Scholarships

Eligible, but unsuccessful candidates for the Research Council bursaries, NRF (SET & SSH) are

eligible for University Research Scholarships. Values are variable.

This undertaking does not apply to candidates who are eligible for support from the NRF (SET &

SSH) who fail to submit a completed application by the university's due date. University Research

Scholarships may not be held concurrently with bursaries from the Research Councils, 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 Master’s 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

allocated to any student from the

University’s own funding if the student

receives support in excess of the stated

maxima.

4. The University reserves the right to cancel late

and incomplete applications for funding

This ensures that selection processes are fair, and that those students who have complied

with the deadlines and application conditions

compete on the same level.

5. After establishing that they are in line with the

laws of the country, the University will ensure

that the conditions of awards and grants as laid down in bequests or by donors, sponsors or the

University, are adhered to.

The University reserves the right to cancel or withdraw any award made if the recipient of such

an award does not comply with the stated

conditions of the award.

All awards made are governed by conditions

that are approved by the DVC for Research

& Innovation. Such conditions ensure that:

the University remains compliant with

tax regulations/guidelines;

the applications submitted by students in competition for such awards are

assessed using the stated criteria, and

the selection process for all awards is based on set and approved criteria.

The University is legally bound to abide by the conditions of award, which are often

based on bequests or on the instructions of

external donors, such as the NRF.

FUNDING POLICIES 88

No awards will be processed without the

required and approved Conditions of Award

6. The University reserves the right to recover

any monies disbursed to any student (including

monies disbursed on behalf of the NRF and MRC), if that individual does not comply with the

conditions of award; make satisfactory progress or

if he/she deregisters without prior notice or reasonable cause. The recovery process is routed

through the University’s Finance Department, via

the Fees Office and the Debtors’ section.

Satisfactory progress and registration for the

degree for which the student is being funded,

are conditions of award. All awards made via the PFO are done so by means of a claim

form, which requires an undertaking from

the student that she/he agrees to comply with the conditions of award.

The NRF and MRC have their own conditions and agreement with similar

repayment clauses, which students must

sign.

Note: The Postgraduate Funding Office

ascertains satisfactory progress through direct communication with the Programme

Convenors and individual student’s

supervisors.

7. Guarantee of funding and outstanding fee

debts The University does not guarantee funding to any

student/applicant. The University does not at any time undertake to provide full-cost support to any

student/applicant. The University will not be responsible for the

outstanding fee debt of any student.

The University is unable to provide any guarantee that every applicant for financial

aid and funding will receive support.

Similarly, the University is unable to

undertake to offset any debt incurred by the student and/or any balance reflected which is

reflected on that student’s fee-account.

8. Cash Advances (called Allowances)

Only students registered for full-time study at the University of Cape Town, and who have a

offered, pledged or processed award, are eligible

to draw Allowances from the University.

Rules:

Allowances will only be available to students under the following conditions:

1. Where an application has been submitted

by a student and an award offered, but not yet processed. In such cases any allowance

must not exceed the amount owed to the

university in terms of fees or other charges. Normally 50% of such fees or charges are

repaid to the university in the first and then

in the second semester.

2. (i) Where a nomination has been made to

the NRF by a Grant-holder for a renewal of an award in respect of a student who has

made satisfactory progress.

(ii) Where a nomination has been made to the NRF by a Grant-holder for a new award

for a student in good academic standing and who is a South African citizen.

89 FUNDING POLICIES

3. Where applications have been made to

the MRC and the NRF for renewal by

students who are eligible and who have made satisfactory progress, and where

results of such applications have not yet

been released by the NRF. (This recommendation is based on the NRF’s

undertaking to support students for the

prescribed tenures of degree).

4. Where a student requires an advance of

part or the whole of a second instalment of an existing award for good reason (to be

supported by the Course

Convenor/Supervisor and/or the Head of Department and approved by the Director of

the Postgraduate Centre & Funding Office)

and where she/he has made satisfactory academic progress in the first semester

In all cases, such ‘Allowances’ must be

underwritten by the fund-holder via an undertaking on the relevant letter-head and

with the original signature of the fund-

holder.

9. Payment of award on receipt of claim forms. In order to prevent fraud, only claim forms

with original signatures will be accepted.

No photo-copies, scanned forms or electronic signatures are acceptable.
