About the Mandela Rhodes Scholarships
The Mandela Rhodes Scholarships aim to help in building leadership excellence in Africa.
A Mandela Rhodes Scholarship is more than a bursary, though the costs of Scholars are generously covered during their period of study. The Scholarship provides funds for tuition, accommodation, meals, a book allowance, and a travel allowance for each Scholar in residence.
The Mandela Rhodes Foundation offers young Africans who exhibit academic prowess as well as broader leadership potential an educational opportunity unique on the continent. While pursuing their chosen post-graduate degree, each Scholar benefits from access to leadership development programmes.
Eligibility
Open to citizens of all African countries.
For postgraduate study at a recognised South African university or tertiary institution (Honours and Masters degrees).
Open to individuals holding a recognised first degree, and who would be under the age of 30 at the time of taking up the Scholarship.
Designed for individuals that reflect in their character a commitment to the principles of education, reconciliation, leadership and entrepreneurship
Applications
Initial nominations are by-and-large processed through recognised South African tertiary institutions. Exceptions are made only for qualified candidates not currently based at a tertiary institution; in these instances applications may be made directly to the Mandela Rhodes Scholarships programme.
The closing date for applications for 2014 is 14 June 2013.
