LOCAL SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME

The CSIR, in partnership with seven South African universities, has a postgraduate scholarship programme that provides students with funding to obtain Honours, Master’s or PhD qualifications in their chosen fields. The programme is open to full-time students in the Faculty of Science or Engineering, carrying out research in priority areas identified by the CSIR.  The programme affords students exposure to science in a research environment and students are also granted access to equipment, facilities and research material as available.

Eligibility South African full-time students studying towards their Honours, Master’s or PhD degrees
How to apply Applications must be done through the universities as the CSIR does not facilitate the scholarship application process. Application forms and more information about scholarships can be obtained from the postgraduate funding offices of each of the universities.
