    My name is Mapei. A Mosotho girl who is willing to persue MPhil Monitoring and Evaluation at Stellebosch University. Since I do not have permanent residence in South Africa, I am willing to work for SAMRC and get sponsored for this degree. I just wanted to find out if there is a chance for me to get this scholarship as an international student, even if it comes with terms and conditions.

      Hello Mapei,

      To qualify for the scholarship, you must be a South African citizen or permanent resident, a member of historically underrepresented groups in STEM, and a full-time PhD student at a South African university. Your research project must align with SAMRC's priorities, have project and ethics approval, and receive supervisory support from a SAMRC unit or be linked to a SAMRC-funded research project. Hence you may not be eligible for this scholarship.

      Hi Pume,

      That's fantastic news! The SAMRC Scholarship program aims to train and nurture scientists from underrepresented groups, including African Black, Indian, and Coloured individuals. These scholarships are available to students whose research supervisors are employed by or affiliated with SAMRC. Research supervisors may work within SAMRC intra or extramural research units or as SAMRC-funded Principal Investigators at universities in South Africa. Alternatively, I suggest you explore a meticulously curated selection of PhD scholarships tailored for international students in the United Kingdom (UK). Delve into this treasure trove of opportunities and unlock the door to your academic aspirations amidst the rich cultural tapestry of the UK.
