Scholarship
NRF Extension Support for Master's and Doctoral Scholarships
Six- or twelve-month extension support for current NRF scholarship-holders completing full-time master's or doctoral study in South Africa under exceptional circumstances.
About this opportunity
Applicants must be NRF scholarship-holders in 2027, study full-time in South Africa, meet the registration-year rules for their degree and have supervisor support. Funding remains at the value of the applicant's 2026 NRF award, so the official documents do not establish one fixed award amount for this extension call.
