Dear Student,
This handbook is part of a series of books at the University. It consists of various

sections which are sub-divided as in the contents section. 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.
The booklet comprises of scholarships and bursaries for which you may apply at the
University. The content is updated annually and available on the Postgraduate Funding
Office website. Additionally, the booklet is also available in hardcopy which is available
from the funding office. Some scholarships and bursaries based on academic merit
require the use of an independent application which reflects the conditions of award set
by the donor whereas others, for example those recorded under Section 3A, 3B and 3C
requires an applicant to complete the UCT funding form 10A application. The form 10A
is the general funding 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. Students who meet this criteria should complete only
one application as awards will be allocated based on the assessed information provided.
Please refer to Section 3 for more information. See also important information on the
overleaf.
The scholarships and bursaries listed in this version of the booklet will open for
application for the 2019 academic year with various stated deadlines, unless otherwise
specified. All 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 2018, for 2019).
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. Students should consult the funding office website to download the
application form and requirements.
Further, students are encouraged to visit the Postgraduate funding office on Upper
Campus should they need further assistance.
With best wishes for success in your studies.
