Two (2)

Students who have previously studied at a South African university.

For students on full-time courses, the scholarship provides a grant for living costs of at least £14,057. Students on part-time courses will receive a study support grant to help cover their non-fee costs.

You should be applying to start a new graduate course at Oxford and must have previously studied at a South African university. Scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic merit.

This award fits a graduate applicant who has studied at a South African university and now wants to start a new course at Oxford. It suits both full-time and part-time students, since both routes are funded in different ways.

Because selection rests on academic merit, strong previous results matter more than a separate funding essay. You only need to meet the course deadline to be considered.

Applications are currently closed.

There is no separate application process for this scholarship: in order to be considered, you must submit your application for graduate study by the relevant January deadline for your course (8 or 22 January 2016, depending on your course).
