Description
The DSI-NRF Master's and Doctoral Scholarships support postgraduate study for the 2025 academic year. Run by South Africa's National Research Foundation under the DSI-NRF postgraduate funding programme, they form part of the NRF's wider postgraduate funding and training provision. The programme is supported by a general Master's and Doctoral Application and Funding Guide and the DSI-NRF Postgraduate Scholarship Framework.
This opportunity concerns the general master's and doctoral scholarship programme, rather than the separately listed Master's and Doctoral Extension Support or SARAO scholarships. It is a historical 2025 funding opportunity, not a confirmed current application call. The NRF also publishes separate postgraduate funding announcements for later academic years through its funding page.
