UCT International and Refugee Scholarship 2022

The University of Cape Town sponsors refugees and international students every year who are in need of financial assistance for their education.

For the academic year 2022, the UCT International and Refugee scholarship will cover all post-graduate studies taught at UCT. There’s no restriction on the field of study.

Here’s how the scholarships are valued for different post-grad programmes:

• Honours – R 25,000
• Master’s – R 30,000
• Doctoral – R 35,000

The amount isn’t awarded all at once. Instead, it’s renewed every year upon satisfactory performance in the current year.

So, the students are allowed to get coverage for the entire duration of their study, provided they perform well academically.

The scholarship will only cover the Cost of Attendance. They must have the means to fund their studies.
