Stellenbosch University Postgraduate Scholarship Programme (PSP) 2023-2024
The Stellenbosch University Postgraduate Scholarship Programme (PSP) is one of our flagship scholarship programmes. It aims to support our vision of becoming a leading research-intensive University by supporting a pool of emerging research talent amongst our postgraduate students.
Please note that there are two separate application processes – your application for admission to postgraduate studies and your application for this scholarship programme.
Step 1: Visit our Prospective Postgraduate Student website (www.sun.ac.za/pgstudies) and familiarise yourself with the available postgraduate programme options and the minimum entry requirements for each.
Step 2: Apply for the relevant postgraduate programme and note under which Faculty it falls.
Step 3: Locate the scholarship faculty criteria of the relevant Faculty (in this call document). Each faculty has unique qualifying criteria.
Step 4: Apply for the PSP via the correct application link for the Faculty. Application links can be found on page 3 of this document.
NOTE: If you were previously NSFAS or ISFAP funded during your undergraduate degree, please attach proof with your application documents.
