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,

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, Postgraduate Diplomas and/or

Certificates, 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.

1. Students proceeding from undergraduate degree to the Honours

degree are no longer eligible for NSFAS Loans and financial aid

packages.

2. The University is unable to provide full-cost funding to post-

graduate students

3. Awards offered to successful applicants ARE A CONTRIBUTION

TOWARDS the cost of attendance at UCT.

4. Applicants are therefore strongly advised to source

external/alternative funds to assist them to cover the full cost of

attendance

Applying for Funding

The primary and most substantial form of

assistance for students who undertake

Honours, Master’s 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 Master’s 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

It is important to note that

1. Students proceeding from undergraduate

degrees to Honours are no longer eligible

for NSFAS loans and Financial Aid

packages,

2. the university is unable to provide full-

cost funding to students and

3. Awards offered to successful applicants

are a contribution towards the cost of

attendance.

Prospective postgraduate students who are

financially needy are required to complete

the relevant section of the UCT Form for

Postgraduate funding 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:

4. Resources for student support are limited.

Therefore the University of Cape Town

can give no guarantee whatsoever that an

applicant will receive funding support.

5. The submission of an application form

does not guarantee the provision of a loan

or an award.

6. 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.

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 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 (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.

Intending students are strongly advised to

submit and UCT funding applications

before the closing date, regardless of

whether or not a decision has been made

on the area of study to be pursued.

Intending students are cautions that NRF

closing dates for Master’s and Doctoral

awards and Postdoctoral research

fellowships are normally in August of

each year.

Intending students who neglect to apply to

the NRF will NOT be considered for UCT

Merit Awards

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

democratic society based on freedom and equality and are therefore not utilised or advertised by the

University of Cape Town.

UCT RESEARCH AWARDS (AT UCT) 9

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 Master’s 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 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

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.

2. General Eligibility

for funding

Although each individual scholarship/bursary indicates eligibility in

the approved Conditions of Award, the general eligibility for funding

includes the following:

Honours students must be registered for full-time study to be

eligible for UCT-sourced funding;

students who are employed full-time are ineligible;

students who hold income (from all sources) in excess of the

are normally ineligible, eg.:

* a Master’s graduate who registers for a further Master’s

degree: and

* a graduate of a 4-year Bachelor degree who registers for

an Honours degree;

students registered for the MMed degree are ineligible;

the university reserves the right to decline late, incomplete and

inappropriate applications, and

no awards will be processed without the required and approved

Conditions of Award.

3. Overall limitations on

income from all

sources.

New Limitations

approved by PSFC

April 2013)

Honours – R150,000

Masters – R200,000

and

Doctoral – R250,000

Applying a limit to total income from all sources (in respect of

students receiving support via the University) ensures equitable

distribution of available funding.

In 2014 the new overall limits are set at:

Masters – R200,000 and

Doctoral – R250,000

The limits have increased by 15% for the year 2014 and onwards

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

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;

awards are assessed using the stated criteria, and

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

criteria.

FUNDING POLICIES 85

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.

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.

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;

does not 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.

registered for full-time

study at the University

South African citizen.

3. Where applications have been made to the MRC and the NRF for
