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 intensive 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.

PLEASE NOTE This booklet guides 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. It consists of various sections which are

sub-divided as described under the contents

section on page 3.

Each section of the booklet includes a brief

introduction to the category of awards and describes the discipline (if applicable),

eligibility and conditions, and address for

submission.

The scholarships and bursaries listed in this

version of the booklet will open for application for the 2020 academic year

with various stated deadlines, unless

otherwise specified. In the majority of cases interested students must apply for

postgraduate funding support preceding the

year of study for registration toward their postgraduate Honours, Master’s or

Doctoral degree (e.g. applicants should

apply by the deadlines in 2020, for 2021).

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 – not NSFAS), personal savings and assistance

from families. Note that in certain cases

awards may be held concurrently, in others, not. Concurrency rules are detailed where

relevant.

Funding administered by the UCT

Postgraduate Funding office (PGFO) aims to provide financial support to Honours,

Master’s and Doctoral students through a

variety of awards administered, depending on eligibility and appropriate, timely

application. Please contact the PGFO if

you’re unsure about any aspects of postgraduate funding, such as how to

apply, or the holding of particular awards

concurrently etc.

Students who wish to apply for this funding

should submit a completed 10A (General Awards) application form, or in some

specific cases (e.g. for international

students and certain independent awards), alternative or additional specific

application forms, with all the supporting

documentation by the advertised deadlines. It is vital that applicants understand the

principle that they are only considered for

postgraduate funding awards that they apply for – i.e. there is no automatic

consideration for any awards without

appropriate application.

The 10A form is a general application

through which South African and

Permanent resident postgraduate Honours,

Master’s and Doctoral applicants apply for funding. An applicant has the option via

form 10A to be considered for merit-only,

need-only funding, or, a combination of the two categories. The deadline for 10A

applications is usually October 31, but

students should check deadlines on the Postgraduate Student Funding Page

http://www.students.uct.ac.za/students/fees

-funding/postgraduate-degree-funding .

South African students who qualify for

financial need, using the same criteria as used for undergraduate funding, will, on

application and review, receive funding

that covers their approximate full cost of attendance. Priority for financial need

funding will be given to black South

African students in the first instance. South African students who do not qualify for

financial need, but do meet minimum merit

criteria, are eligible for partial funding.

Most awards offered by the university are

limited to South African citizens and permanent residents. However,

International and Refugee Students may

apply for the International and Refugee Scholarships, departmental scholarships as

described in Sections 4C, 4D and 4E

respectively, external independent scholarships (see Section 5), the NRF in

certain cases, as well as the UCT

Conference Travel grants and the Scholarships for International Travel.

The University administered awards

appearing in this booklet are not available

for the 4th or later year of Bachelor

degrees, Postgraduate Diplomas and

Certificates, and most professional degrees such as the FAPM, or any other university-

designated part-time programme, the PGCE

or the LLB and BArch degrees. Students wishing to register for these courses must,

where applicable, refer to booklet 13

"Financial Assistance for Undergraduate Study" issued by the Undergraduate

Student Financial Aid office. Students in

the PGDip (Accounting), PGDip (Music Performance) and various PGCE

programmes may be funded through the

Student Financial Aid office.

The content of this booklet is updated

annually and is available on the Postgraduate Funding Office website. http://www.students.uct.ac.za/students/fees-

funding/postgraduate-degree-funding

Additionally, the booklet is also available in

hardcopy from the PG Funding Office.

Please read through the information

carefully to familiarise yourself with the funding opportunities offered through the

University as well as those offered via

private and third-party organisations.

Students are encouraged to visit the

Postgraduate Funding Office on Upper Campus should they need further assistance

with the application forms and

requirements.

The Postgraduate Funding Office extend

their best wishes for success in your studies.









IMPORTANT INFORMATION • Prospective students should submit UCT funding applications on or (preferably) before the stated

deadlines in addition to having applied for admission to study at UCT. You do not have to

wait to be accepted for an academic place, but you do have to have applied for such.

• Note that closing dates for some awards are early in the year preceding the year for which you require funding. For example, the National Research Foundation (NRF) Master’s and Doctoral

applications for study in 2021 will close early in June 2020.

• While some full cost awards are available (as outlined in the Foreword) students are encouraged as

a matter of principle, where applicable and eligible, to apply for further or alternative funding

such as the NRF.

• In some cases, application from alternative sources is a requirement. For example, in order to meet

the demand for merit awards, students who qualify for UCT merit scholarships are required to have applied for both a UCT merit award and an NRF award. The same rule applies in the case of

students applying for UCT needs-based funding.

• Many awards are renewable, but for a stipulated period of tenure, and dependent on satisfactory

progress being maintained. In most of the cases tenure for Hons, Master’s and Doctoral funding is

one, two and three years, respectively.

• There is no guarantee that an applicant will receive funding on application (i.e. resources are

limited) and some categories of award are oversubscribed and hence, competitive.

• UCT cannot consider assistance for the cost of dependents – funding is considered as an award to

the individual students’ tuition and living costs.

• UCT awards and most external awards cannot be used for student fee debt relief, other than in

certain exceptional cases.

• Appeals may be considered through an appeal process in exceptional circumstances, provided the

appeal is in writing (form available from the PGFO) and there is strong motivation. Legitimate

reasons for postgraduate students to appeal must be fully motivated and include: Changed financial circumstances; Extension of funding tenure; Request to hold funds that exceed maximum

award limit; Deferral of award; Change to programme of study; Late applications with legitimate

documented reasons (such as medical reasons).

.

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 https://applyonline.uct.ac.za/ and should

consult UCT’s Admissions Office or

relevant Faculty Office for the closing dates. Funding selection committees will

only consider candidates who have applied

to UCT for admission. Bear in mind that successful applicants can only claim their

bursaries/scholarships once they have been

accepted and registered in the relevant academic department for the

course/programme for which they applied.

AN OFFER OF A FUNDING AWARD DOES NOT IMPLY AN OFFER OF AN

ACADEMIC PLACE TO STUDY.

Funding and academic admissions are two separate, delinked processes.

Applying for Funding There are multiple sources of funding from which postgraduate awards are established.

These awards are administered by UCT’s

Postgraduate Funding Office (PGFO). Generally, students apply and are assessed

for these on the basis of needs only, merit-

only, or merit-needs categories.

Applicants applying via the form 10A do

not have to be in the first year of their degree. They can apply for second year

support without having been awarded in the

first year. In this case the award will only be once for their Master’s and two years

(subject to satisfactory progress) for their

Doctoral degree.

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. As indicated above

some scholarships and bursaries require the

use of an (independent) application form

therefore, students should familiarise

themselves with the application

requirements before applying. Late and incomplete applications will be disqualified

Merit Awards The major source of merit-based awards is

the state-funded Research Council – the

National Research Foundation (NRF) (see Section 1). Students wishing to be

considered for UCT merit awards must

apply, in the first instance, to the NRF.

It is University policy that Honours or

Master’s students who qualify for an NRF scholarship, may not hold a UCT merit

award concurrently. However, Doctoral

students are allowed to hold UCT Merit awards and NRF scholarships concurrently.

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 8.)

Other scholarships and bursaries such as the

so-called ‘Prestigious fellowships’ funded

from a variety of sources are available. (See Section 3). Other scholarships may be

awarded by Heads of Departments or

supervisors to students working on specific projects or programmes. Candidates should

enquire as to the availability of such awards

by consulting their Supervisors, Course convenors or Heads of academic

departments.

Financial Need Awards The University has instituted a policy to

support South African and Permanent

resident Honours, Master’s and Doctoral students who qualify and have applied for

financial need. Such applicants may qualify

for either full financial aid including an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) or, a

partial award which is a percentage bursary

toward the approved tuition fees.

UCT will determine an applicant’s financial

need by applying the National Means Test (NMT) used by the National Student

Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

The value of a Financial-need bursary will

be calculated on “assessed need” for the cost of university attendance in 2020 and will be

https://applyonline.uct.ac.za/

https://applyonline.uct.ac.za/

reduced pro rata taking into account other

scholarships and bursaries awarded to students.

Prospective Honours, Master’s and Doctoral postgraduate students who are financially

needy are required to complete the relevant

section of UCT’s Postgraduate Financial Assistance Form 10A 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.

Honours, Master’s and Doctoral South

African and Permanent resident students

who fall outside of the above may qualify for partial funding support via the relevant

application form. The same financial

eligibility criteria will be applied for such applicants as indicated above.

Section 5 lists awards administered independently of UCT and enquiries should

be directed to the Administrators/Trustees

indicated.

AS A PRINCIPAL EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO SECURE

ASSISTANCE FROM SOURCES

EXTERNAL TO UCT WHEREVER POSSIBLE (E.G. FROM THE NRF) AS

UCT CANNOT INDEPENDENTLY

FUND ALL POSTGRADUATE STUDENTS TO OPTIMAL LEVELS.

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. Prospective postgraduate

students must ensure that they have sufficient financial 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.

Awards for Study at Overseas

Universities UCT does not offer scholarships for

international study from their central budget. However, certain independent

(external) donor funders do, some requiring

application processing and awarding through the PGFO (see Section 7), others

are administered by the external partner

directly. Various research councils such as the NRF & MRC are potential sources 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 7 provides information on

independently administered awards for

study at overseas universities.

Scholarships for Short Research

Visits and Conference Grants UCT has made available a number of limited awards to support master’s and

doctoral students to undertake research

visits abroad, and participate in academic conferences. Calls for such awards are

generally made biannually. Again, only

applications made on time and complete in terms of required documentation are

considered by selection committees.

Postdoctoral Research Fellowships This Booklet includes a number of

opportunities for Postdoctoral research

fellowships (See Section 6). However, the majority of opportunities are offered by

independent donors and agencies, and

interested parties are advised to check with

their department Heads and with the PGFO regularly. The office also provides details

of externally administered funding and

other opportunities on an electronic noticeboard which can be found on the

Postdoctoral website.


The reason Postdoctoral funding is considered a part of the postgraduate

administrative sector is that many of these

awards are administered through the same processes and systems as student awards, in

order to qualify for tax-free status.

GENERAL IMPORTANT

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

eligible for UCT postgraduate 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 if funded via the NRF.

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 through

the PGFO will not be available beyond the above-mentioned tenures.

Students studying for a second degree at the same level (e.g. Honours Graduate

doing a second Honours Degree) are

ineligible for 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.
