JACK SIMONS BURSARY

Students will be required to register and complete the postgraduate degree at the University of Cape Town.

The Scholarship is a prestigious award and selection is based on:

  • Academic merit
  • The University’s Equity Policy. These include the principles of affirmative action and the goal of developing the careers of black students to prepare them to become equal competitors and significant role models at UCT in general and in the field of African Studies in particular.
  • Given that black people are currently underrepresented in the postgraduate student body, the African Studies Section encourages them to apply for this scholarship as we are committed to helping redress the under-representation.

Selection is based on academic merit, equity and financial need.

The value of the Scholarship is R20 000.

HOW TO APPLY

Applications should be made on the prescribed forms, accompanied by a full curriculum vitae.
