Introduction
This booklet is intended for students, staff and alumni of the University of Stellenbosch. The
bursaries and scholarships listed here provide various means of funding to study and conduct
research outside South Africa, either as visiting, exchange or full-time international student or
researcher. The list is not exhaustive, but covers the main scholarships available as well as
scholarships made known to the International Office by funding bodies. Please note that the
information and deadlines are correct at time of publication, but are liable to change.
There are two sections: a calendar that lists the deadlines of scholarships, and an alphabetical
catalogue of the scholarships. You are welcome to visit the International Office to view the original
records and application forms of these scholarships, but where possible we suggest you contact the
funding bodies directly for the latest details and deadlines, especially where the information is
available on the internet. Note that where the contact address is given as the International Office,
you must apply through the office and not directly to the funding body. Also, where the deadline
entry is left blank, the scholarship either has more than one deadline or no fixed deadline.
Latest announcements of scholarships are frequently posted on the daily electronic bulletin of the
University and published on our website www.sun.ac.za/international (where you will also find
links to other funding bodies). Furthermore, the Universitys library holds a number of books listing
scholarships for overseas study. See especially The Grants Register (published by Macmillan).
Feel free to contact us for assistance in any of these matters.
