African Scholarships NRF Community Engagement Program, South Africa
Study Subject: Community Engagement
Employer: NRF
Scholarships Level: Master, Doctoral, Postdoctoral
Scholarships Description: The Community Engagement Programme is a competitive programme, which provides the space for research that contributes both to knowledge production within the ambit of community engagement (here community is defined in its broadest sense); as well as research on the processes and dynamics of engagement from the perspective of the higher education sector. To further elaborate, the programme is aimed at supporting and providing the enabling conditions for higher education institutions to come to grips with some of the philosophical and conceptual challenges associated with the dynamics of community engagement and social responsiveness, as a field of research enquiry
Objectives of the programme:
To sharpen and mainstream the higher education sector’s response to community engagement as a third pillar of academic activity (Hall: 2009).[1]
To facilitate the development of robust theoretical and conceptual positions on community engagement in the South African context; and thereby stimulate and contribute to contemporary debates on the issue.
To create new forms of knowledge in this area.
Key features of the programme:
Research, which contributes to deeper theoretical, philosophical and conceptual orientations of community engagement from a higher education perspective.
Research which interrogates the complex interplay and processes of engagement; that is, the various ways in which knowledge is produced, assimilated and utilized through interactions and relationships with communities.
Case studies, typologies, appreciative inquiry about community engagement and community assessments.
Key assumptions underpinning the programme:
The conception, definition or meaning ascribed to the notion of “community” is not universal or pre-determined in the programme; it may be the focus of the project; and will depend on how each project defines it.
An exploration of community engagement implies that communities (however defined) have roles and agency in a reciprocal set of relations.

African Postgraduate Scholarship in Research on Protein for Animal Nutrition
Protein Research Foundation (PRF) Postgraduate Scholarship in Research on Protein for Animal Nutrition, University of Cape Town, South Africa.
Objective of the Scholarship :
The objective of the PRF Postgraduate Research Scholarships is to provide deserving students with the opportunity to obtain a Masters degree that will enable them to make a contribution to high quality scientific research in the supply or utilisation of protein in animal nutrition, or both. The subject of study for the Masters degree must fall within the broad framework of the mission, vision and goals of the PRF. Doctoral scholarships will also be considered if the subject of study is deemed to be of a high priority to the PRF.
Requirements :
The scholarship is open to citizens of the Republic of South Africa who have qualified for admission to a Masters or PhD degree at a recognised tertiary institution.
Evaluation :
The scholarship is awarded on merit, and in the case of a Ph D, according to the requirements of the PRF for the specific study.
Value of and number of Scholarships :
The total value of the scholarship will vary according to the length of the study. For the Masters Degree the guideline is two years and for the Doctorate three years. The value of the scholarship is R35 000 per annum. This amount is paid directly to the candidate at the commencement of each academic year, following the receipt of adequate proof that the candidate has been accepted and is registered at the University for the year in question. The allocation of a scholarship in one year should not be regarded as a guarantee that this will be repeated in succeeding years. Scholarship allocations for succeeding years will be paid upon receipt of documentation from the academic supervisor that satisfactory progress was made during the previous academic year, as well as proof of re-registration of the candidate by the university.
Obligations :
The successful candidate must conduct an approved research project under the leadership of a recognised supervisor at the university concerned. The project may be used towards the fulfilment of the requirements for the postgraduate qualification. A formal contract must be signed by both parties.
Progress reports :
An annual progress report must be submitted by the academic supervisor, and the incumbent is requested to submit a final report in the form of a thesis on completion of the research. The PRF would appreciate being informed of papers emanating from the study that are published either in the scientific or popular press so that these can be placed on the PRF website for wider distribution.
Selection Of Candidates :
Candidates should submit PRF scholarship applications to their university administration, and the names of those who have applied for the first time should be listed in priority sequence by the University. Applications from those candidates selected by the university are then submitted to the PRF. Selected candidates may be requested to attend a personal interview, costs of which are carried by the PRF. Applications are evaluated by the PRF at a meeting in October each year and the results of the selection procedure are made known directly after that meeting.
Closing Date :
Completed applications must reach Ms. Erica Van Wyk at the Postgraduate Funding Office, 3rd Level, Otto Beit Building, Upper Campus by 20 September.
