HONOURS, MASTER’S, AND PHD SCHOLARSHIPS
The Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town hosts an innovative five-year programme, HISTORY ACCESS, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Aimed at training a new generation of South African historians who are conceptually multilingual, technically competent, and academically rigorous, this programme offers support for students who have proficiency and/ or interest either in working with African vernacular language sources, or in innovative (new media) articulations of original research.
We particularly encourage applications from woman and black (and especially African) South African students.
