2022/2023
NOTES
This booklet provides information on potential sources of financial support for postgraduate students. There are various categories of financial assistance administered by the University and many other agencies and donors. This booklet will be a useful resource in identifying potential bursaries and scholarships.
The scholarships and bursaries listed in this version of the booklet will open for application for the 2022 academic year with various stated deadlines, unless otherwise specified. In the majority of cases, interested students must apply for postgraduate funding support preceding the year of study for registration toward their postgraduate Honours, Masters or Doctoral degree (e.g. applicants should apply by the deadlines in 2022, for 2023).
The financing of postgraduate study invariably takes the form of a combination of scholarships or bursaries, part-time employment within or outside the University, student loans (personal – not NSFAS), personal savings and assistance from families. Note that in certain cases awards may be held concurrently, in others, not. Concurrency rules are detailed where relevant.
The content of this booklet is updated annually and is available on the Postgraduate website. www.wits.ac.za/postgraduate/. Additionally, the booklet is also available in hardcopy from the PG Funding Office. 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 Postgraduate Affairs Office extends their best wishes for success in your studies.

Name Date of Application
Date of Interviews
Fulbright Scholarship March/April of year preceding planned study May/June (Interviews are 6 -8 weeks after the submission of your applications. If you are not accepted for interviews, you will receive no communication from the Fulbright organisers).
General Comments
For study in the United States for MA, PhD or non-degree purpose coursework relating to your PhD. Provides funding for a maximum of two years. In your application, stress the significance of your potential contributions to South Africa, and give detailed (though succinct) explanations as to why you need to study in the U.S.
Some important points to note:
1) Fulbright does not allow you to apply to universities independently after you have received the award. They apply to universities through the IIE and will not necessarily apply to all of your universities of choice, particularly if they are expensive. You have to provide very strong motivation if you are set on a specific university or city.
2) In line with this, if you receive the Fulbright you will usually only discover which university you will be attending in roughly April of the year you leave.
3) If you receive the Fulbright, revise for your GREs. You will need to write both the standard GRE and the GRE for English Literature

For study at the University of Oxford. Either for Masters or second undergraduate degree. Focus on extra-‐curricular activity and home-‐country benefit. Be prepared for grilling interviews from a panel of up to ten.
Pay attention to detail in your motivation: questions are often derived from this. A dinner with the other applicants and members of the interview panel is held the night before and conversation contributes to the application process.

General Comments
For study in the UK at Masters or PhD level. Core requirements are home country benefit, and why studying in the UK is necessary and beneficial to your field. Requires a return to your home country after study. Particularly good if you plan to study in London as extra funding is provided. ‘Split-site’ funding (where you are based at two universities, one of which is in the UK, and the other South Africa) is also available. Application is through the University at which you are based, though some study institutions offer ‘shared’ funding which is applied for through that university.
For study in the UK at Masters and PhD level (with preference for a Masters). Emphasis is on leadership potential, and impact on improving set UK Foreign Affairs Ministry objectives.
For Masters study. Emphasis is on being a ‘game-changer’. This incorporates academic and leadership excellence. The second round involves interviews with a panel, but the final decision rests with Laurie Dippenaar himself. Emphasis is on main stream development goals. This scholarship can be extended for Doctoral study if it is awarded to a student for Masters.
Generally, for Masters study. Emphasis is on pure academic achievement rather than leadership or community service. Look to apply at Universities (Cambridge for example) that offer shared Skye Scholarships as the Foundation looks to provide as many students as possible with funding. Also, a viable ‘top-up’ fund if you have partial funding elsewhere. Application is through the Dean of Faculty.
