Canon Collins Trust, in partnership with the Sol Plaatje Educational Project, is currently accepting applications for the Canon Collins Sol Plaatje Scholarships in South Africa 2024. These grants are only available to Masters and PhD candidates.
The Sol Plaatje Educational Project and the Canon Collins Trust will grant support for up to two years for Masters programs and three years for PhD programs. The continuation of financing is contingent on successful development and academic reports.
Interdisciplinary courses and doctoral studies may sometimes defy easy categorization. Applicants are urged to use their judgement in assessing whether to apply. But applications that clearly do not fall within these areas (for example MBAs, medical sciences, sports sciences and applied sciences) will not be considered for an award.
In 2024, climate justice will be a priority. Climate Justice related scholarship applications may be in a science or applied science field as long as the application can demonstrate its relevance to climate justice related matters.
