2016/2017 Canon Collins Scholarships for Postgraduate Study in South Africa

Application Deadline: Monday 15 August 2016.

Canon Collins Trust seeks to support exceptional individuals who are committed to social justice in Southern Africa and for whom a postgraduate qualification is an essential tool in working to create an open and just society.

In early 2015 the Trust revised its South African scholarship awards policy. For the next 3 years we will be offering scholarships only to those studying in three areas:

1. Justice, which includes Law, Economics, Politics and the Environment
2. Education: policy and practice
3. Humanities, which includes Literature, History, Anthropology and the Arts

Applications for courses that are not within these areas (for example MBAs, medical sciences, sports sciences, applied sciences) will be rejected.
