Applications are invited from suitable candidates who intend to commence with the first year of registration for full-time Master’s and Doctoral studies at the University of Cape Town in 2021.

Purpose
The David and Elaine Potter Foundation has established a Fellowship Programme to support outstanding South African students who intend to contribute to civil society in South Africa, by leveraging their educational advantage in any discipline.  A strong civil society holds national and local government accountable, enhances democratic institutions and the quality of life of its citizens and helps strengthen and sustain economic, civil and legal rights. Any field of study will be considered.  Thoughtful men and women from all backgrounds, who are excited by the prospect of helping to lead South Africa into an ever more successful future are invited to apply for these Fellowships.

The Fellowships will be awarded based on the relevance to the purpose.
Only candidates with a final Honours degree mark of 65% and above are eligible to apply.
