DETAILS | Canon Collins Sol Plaatje Scholarships
Interdisciplinary courses and doctoral studies may sometimes defy easy categorization. Applicants are urged to use their judgement in assessing whether to apply. But applications that clearly do not fall within these areas (for example MBAs, medical sciences, sports sciences and applied sciences) will not be considered for an award. In 2024, climate justice will be a priority.
