Mandela Rhodes Scholarship

Mandela Rhodes Scholarship

A Mandela Rhodes Scholarship provides full funding for up to a maximum of two years of postgraduate study.[1] The award is open to all African citizens under the age of 30 years and recipients must study towards Honours or Masters Degrees at recognised South African institutions.[2] Although no maximum number of awards has been stipulated, the scholarships are highly competitive, with less than 30 scholarships being awarded each year since its inception in 2005.[3] The scholarships cover tuition, accommodation, meals, book allowance, general allowance, and travel expenses.[4] Recipients of the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship are students with outstanding academic achievements who also possess leadership ability, entrepreneurial skills, and a commitment to reconciliation.[5] In addition to receiving funding for their studies, scholars undertake a leadership development program while in residence and are afforded the opportunity of meeting with Nelson Mandela.[6][7][8] The award is named after Nelson Mandela and Cecil Rhodes and is administered by the Mandela Rhodes Foundation which is a partnership between Nelson Mandela and the Rhodes Trust.[9]
