For postgraduate bursaries:

As from 2021, applications for NRF bursaries at Honours, Masters and Doctoral levels are now conducted directly by postgraduate students through the online portal of the National Research Foundation. You may now apply on the NRF Online Submission System by accessing the link https://nrfsubmission.nrf.ac.za/ and also NRF Connect via https://nrfconnect.nrf.ac.za.

In your application for a General Scholarship, you must cite the Unique Grant Number or Identifier (UID) for the SARChI Chair in Visual History & Theory, which is UID 98911. This will assist your application.

• Honours Applications: 1 April – 20 November 2023
• Masters Applications:  1 April – 8 July 2023
