Bursary Programme

The previously separate bursary awards for post-graduate students are now incorporated into the Grants Programme.

We continue to welcome applications from such students when they have a specific project which will enhance the effectiveness of their study programme and also meet the objectives of the overall grant scheme, see Grants Programme.

Some past bursary recipients are featured below.
