The scholarships do not provide full-cost support . The regulations governing the Research Council bursaries and UCT awards permit some degree of concurrent part-time employment. Demonstratorships, Teaching Assistantships or Research Assistantships may be offered by the relevant Department and details should be obtained from the students' supervisor or Head of Department. Candidates requiring financial assistance must make every effort to complete their studies within these periods. Applications for continued assistance must be submitted annually by the relevant closing dates.
Selection committees consider only students whose full-time registration has been finalised.
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. Graduates of UCT may apply for UCT-administered overseas scholarships and bursaries which are awarded primarily on the basis of past academic performance. Details may be found under Section 5. Intending overseas candidates should establish the cost of their proposed overseas study at an early date, and are urged to apply as widely as possible as an adequate level of support is seldom available from a single source and, with the permission of the administrators concerned, usually requires the accumulation of several awards.
