South African Scholarships

Merit and postgraduate scholarships open to South African students, including full-cost leadership scholarships.

Scholarship criteria vary

Some awards focus on academic results, while others consider leadership, research, sport, financial circumstances or a combination. Use the published criteria, not the label, to decide.

Check conditions as carefully as benefits

Confirm the covered costs, renewal standard, duration, institution rules and any obligations before accepting an award.
