FOREWORD
Postgraduate programmes at the University of Cape Town play a vital role in developing skills necessary for success in a knowledge-driven economy, both locally and internationally. Our postgraduate programmes span the basic disciplines as well as a range of applied and professional areas in Commerce, Engineering and the Built Environment, Health Sciences, Humanities, Law and Science. Our commitment to being a high quality research-led university means that our postgraduate students have the opportunity to work with academics who are making important contributions to new knowledge via their on-going research and professional activities. 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 also provides information on a range of postdoctoral fellowships. The opportunity of a postdoctoral fellowship, following the successful completion of a doctoral degree, is a useful career experience allowing a researcher to develop further skills in knowledge creation and dissemination. We hope that this booklet will be a useful resource in identifying potential bursaries and scholarships. We wish you a successful and enjoyable postgraduate and postdoctoral experience at the University of Cape Town. Professor Danie Visser Deputy Vice-Chancellor
takes the form of a combination of scholarships or bursaries, part-time employment within or outside the university, student loans, personal savings and assistance from families. The university aims to provide financial assistance that will contribute towards the costs of tuition and accommodation. This goal requires more money than the university has available. It is therefore vital that students needing assistance approach as many sources as possible in addition to applying to UCT. All awards offered by the university are limited to South African citizens and permanent residents, with the exception of the UCT Research Associateships, the International and Refugee Students' Scholarships, and the Travel grants. The University administered awards appearing in this booklet are not available for the 4th year of Bachelor degrees Advanced or Postgraduate Diplomas, the HDE or the LLB and BArch degrees. Students wishing to follow these courses are referred to booklet 13 "Financial Assistance for Undergraduate Study" issued by the Undergraduate Student Financial Aid office.
Applying for Funding

The primary and most substantial form of assistance for students who undertake Honours, Masters and Doctoral study on a full-time basis are the awards granted on the basis of academic performance. It is important that students and prospective postdoctoral research fellows applying for funding comply with the requirements and submit applications on time and by the specific closing date. Late and incomplete applications will be disqualified.
INTRODUCTION
This Booklet is intended as a guide for students who will register for full-time Honours, Masters or Doctoral study and who require financial assistance, and for Doctoral graduates seeking financial support for postdoctoral research. The financing of postgraduate study invariably
Merit Awards
The major sources of merit-based awards are the two state-funded Research Councils. (See Section 1). Students
requiring UCT merit awards must apply, in the first instance, to the NRF or MRC. UCT Research Scholarships are intended for students who are eligible for NRF (SET), NRF (SSH) and MRC bursaries but are unsuccessful with their applications. An application form for this category of award is not required (See Section 2). Research Associateships are awarded to the most outstanding Masters and Doctoral students on the basis of nomination by their Departments. (See Section 2.) UCT also offers scholarships each December to graduating students who have performed exceptionally well at UCT. Recipients are identified by the university and an application form for this category of award is not required. (See Section 7.) Scholarships and bursaries funded from a variety of sources are available. These may be awarded to Heads of Departments or supervisors to grant to students working on specific projects or programmes. Candidates should enquire as to the availability of such awards by consulting their Heads or Supervisors.
bursary must themselves provide some of their costs. Students applying for financial assistance will be assessed for assistance but MUST ensure that they are able to provide some contribution towards their studies, via their own resources, external bursaries or parttime employment. Students must note that: 1. Funding is NOT guaranteed 2. The university does not offer FULL-COST support and 3. The University is not responsible for the outstanding fee debt of any student. It is important to be aware that the university cannot consider assistance for the cost of dependents. Students must make arrangements to meet the cost of support of dependents where applicable. Section 4 lists awards administered independently of UCT and enquiries should be directed to the Administrators/Trustees indicated. EVERY EFFORT MUST BE MADE TO SECURE ASSISTANCE FROM SOURCES EXTERNAL TO UCT.
Bursaries Awarded on Basis of Financial Need

It is important to note that funding at the postgraduate level is not the same as the FINANCIAL AID available for undergraduate study. Full-cost financial aid packages are not available to postgraduate students. Postgraduate students are therefore required to attempt to secure funds from as many external sources as possible. Bursaries offered by UCT for financially needy students are available only to South African citizens and permanent residents and are listed under Section 3. Despite active steps taken by UCT, it may prove impossible to support all needy postgraduate students. All students assessed as eligible for assistance in the form of a need-based
International and Refugee Students

A limited number of scholarships are available to non-South African graduates who are residents of countries other than South Africa. These are awarded on a competitive basis with emphasis given to academic merit and to the seniority of candidates. The scholarships do not provide full-cost support. All UCT International and Refugee Students Scholarships are supplementary. Applying students must ensure that they have sufficient support for their studies. The scholarships are renewable for the duration of the course of study subject to satisfactory progress being maintained, up to a limit of 1 year at Honours level; for the 1st and 2nd years of Masters study, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
years of Doctoral study. Applications for funding cannot be processed unless Applicants apply for admission through the UCT Admissions Office or the Faculty Office.
the relevant closing dates. Renewal of awards is NOT automatic and eligible students are required to apply for renewal annually.
Part-time Employment
The regulations governing the NRF/ MRC bursaries and UCT awards permit some degree of concurrent part-time employment. Individuals who are employed full-time are not eligible for UCT funding support. Demonstratorships, Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships may be offered by your Department and details should be obtained from your supervisor or Head of Department. Subject to limitations on remuneration, awardholders may undertake part-time employment, provided weekly duties do not exceed 12 hours NRF (SET), 12 hours NRF (SSH), 9 hours (MRC), 12 hours (UCT Research Scholarship) or 12 hours (UCT Research Associateships).
Application for Admission to Study and Registration

Applicants for financial assistance who are not already registered for the degree of their choice are reminded that they must also apply for admission to the University and should consult UCTs Admissions Office or relevant Faculty Office for the closing dates. Although funding selection committees consider applicants who may not yet be registered for study, bursaries/scholarships that may be offered can only be claimed by students who have been accepted by the relevant academic department for the course/programme for which they applied.

and
Research Council bursaries and UCT awards may be held for: the first year of the Honours degree only; the 1st and 2nd year of Masters study, and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of Doctoral study. Renewal of awards for Masters and Doctoral study each year is subject to satisfactory progress and continued evidence of need in the case of needbased bursaries, and on the availability of funds. Students must make every effort to complete their studies within these periods. It is important to note that funding will not be available beyond the above-mentioned tenures. NOTE: STUDENTS STUDYING FOR A SECOND DEGREE AT THE SAME LEVEL (e.g. Honours Graduate doing a second Honours Degree) ARE INELIGIBLE FOR UCT FUNDING. Applications for renewal and continued assistance must be submitted annually by
The University does not offer scholarships for international study. However the respective research councils NRF (SET), NRF (SSH) & MRC are a major source of assistance for overseas study at the DOCTORAL degree level. Such overseas awards are made on the basis of academic excellence and the significance of the proposed study. Certain overseas universities may offer scholarships or bursaries to international students, or may be in a position to offer part-time employment in the form of Assistantships or Fellowships, which often include a waiver of academic fees. Students are advised to check with their intended institutions. Section 6 provides information on independently administered awards for study at overseas universities.
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

This Booklet includes a number of opportunities for Postdoctoral research fellowships at UCT (See Section 5). However, the majority of opportunities are offered by independent donors and interested parties are advised to check with their department Heads and with the Postgraduate Funding Office regularly.

1.4 Upgrade from Masters to Doctoral
2. General Eligibility for funding
87 FUNDING POLICIES 3. Overall limitations on income from all sources. Applying a limit to total income from all sources (in respect of students receiving support via the University) ensures equitable distribution of available funding. In 2003 the overall limits were set at Honours R45 000 Masters R65 000, and Doctoral R85 000 In 2004, the overall limits were set: at: Honours R65 000 Masters R85 000 and Doctoral R100 000 In 2006 , the overall limits were set at: Honours R85 000 Masters R100 000 Doctoral R135 000 In 2008 the overall limits were set at: Honours R90 000 Masters R120 000 Doctoral R150 000 In2009 the overall limits were set at: Honours R130,000 Masters R170,000 and Doctoral R220,000 The limit remains unchanged in 2011 and 2012 UCT reserves the right to recover any funds allocated to any student from the Universitys own funding if the student receives support in excess of the stated maxima. 4. The University reserves the right to cancel late and incomplete applications for funding This ensures that selection processes are fair, and that those students who have complied with the deadlines and application conditions compete on the same level. All awards made are governed by conditions that are approved by the DVC for Research & Innovation. Such conditions ensure that: the University remains compliant with tax regulations/guidelines; the applications submitted by students in competition for such awards are assessed using the stated criteria, and the selection process for all awards is based on set and approved criteria. The University is legally bound to abide by the conditions of award, which are often based on bequests or on the instructions of external donors, such as the NRF.
New limitations approved by PSFC for 2008 + Honours R90,000 Masters R120,000 Doctoral R150,000 New Limitations approved by PSFC 2009+ (PSFC Minutes October 2008) Honours R130,000 Masters R170,000 and Doctoral R220,000 The limits remain unchanged in 2011
5. After establishing that they are in line with the laws of the country, the University will ensure that the conditions of awards and grants as laid down in bequests or by donors, sponsors or the University, are adhered to. The University reserves the right to cancel or withdraw any award made if the recipient of such an award does not comply with the stated conditions of the award.
FUNDING POLICIES 88 No awards will be processed without the required and approved Conditions of Award 6. The University reserves the right to recover any monies disbursed to any student (including monies disbursed on behalf of the NRF and MRC), if that individual does not comply with the conditions of award; make satisfactory progress or if he/she deregisters without prior notice or reasonable cause. The recovery process is routed through the Universitys Finance Department, via the Fees Office and the Debtors section. Satisfactory progress and registration for the degree for which the student is being funded, are conditions of award. All awards made via the PFO are done so by means of a claim form, which requires an undertaking from the student that she/he agrees to comply with the conditions of award. The NRF and MRC have their own conditions and agreement with similar repayment clauses, which students must sign. Note: The Postgraduate Funding Office ascertains satisfactory progress through direct communication with the Programme Convenors and individual students supervisors. The University is unable to provide any guarantee that every applicant for financial aid and funding will receive support. Similarly, the University is unable to undertake to offset any debt incurred by the student and/or any balance reflected which is reflected on that students fee-account.
7. Guarantee of funding and outstanding fee debts The University does not guarantee funding to any student/applicant. The University does not at any time undertake to provide full-cost support to any student/applicant. The University will not be responsible for the outstanding fee debt of any student.
8. Cash Advances (called Allowances) Only students registered for full-time study at the University of Cape Town, and who have a offered, pledged or processed award, are eligible to draw Allowances from the University.
Rules: Allowances will only be available to students under the following conditions: 1. Where an application has been submitted by a student and an award offered, but not yet processed. In such cases any allowance must not exceed the amount owed to the university in terms of fees or other charges. Normally 50% of such fees or charges are repaid to the university in the first and then in the second semester. 2. (i) Where a nomination has been made to the NRF by a Grant-holder for a renewal of an award in respect of a student who has made satisfactory progress. (ii) Where a nomination has been made to the NRF by a Grant-holder for a new award for a student in good academic standing and who is a South African citizen.
89 FUNDING POLICIES 3. Where applications have been made to the MRC and the NRF for renewal by students who are eligible and who have made satisfactory progress, and where results of such applications have not yet been released by the NRF. (This recommendation is based on the NRFs undertaking to support students for the prescribed tenures of degree). 4. Where a student requires an advance of part or the whole of a second instalment of an existing award for good reason (to be supported by the Course Convenor/Supervisor and/or the Head of Department and approved by the Director of the Postgraduate Centre & Funding Office) and where she/he has made satisfactory academic progress in the first semester In all cases, such Allowances must be underwritten by the fund-holder via an undertaking on the relevant letter-head and with the original signature of the fundholder. In order to prevent fraud, only claim forms with original signatures will be accepted. No photo-copies, scanned forms or electronic signatures are acceptable.
9. Payment of award on receipt of claim forms.
