Canon Collins Trust General Scholarship Scheme

Canon Collins Trust provides scholarships to students from South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Angola and Mozambique, who wish to pursue a Masters degree of either one year in the UK, or postgraduate study in South Africa (including honours, Masters and PhD level). .We occasionally nominate PhD students for the Commonwealth Scholarships in the UK.

The key aim of the  Scholarships Programme is to help build the human resources necessary for economic, social and cultural development in the southern African region and to develop an educated and skilled workforce that can benefit the wider community.  Canon Collins Trust scholarship holders are thus expected to use the knowledge, training and skills acquired through their studies to contribute positively to the development of their home country.

The UK scholarship programme is administered by the London Office. Enquiries should be directed to this email address: hazel[AT SIGN]canoncollins[DOT]org[DOT]uk

The South Africa scholarship programme is administered in the UK. Enquires should be directed to: CTO[AT SIGN]canoncollins[AT SIGN]iafrica[DOT]com

 

The Graça Machel Scholarship Programme

Canon Collins Trust currently manage a scholarship programme on behalf of Mrs Graça Machel.  The aim is to provide female students with scholarships that will equip them to take up leadership roles for the benefit of their community, nation and region.

Applications to study in the UK through the Graça Machel scheme can be made on the standard UK application form and sent to the UK office.

Applications to study in South Africa through the Graça Machel scheme must be made on the specific application form and sent to the UK office (NB this is different from our standard scholarship scheme to study in South Africa, for which applications should be sent to the South Africa office).

The application process for Graça Machel scholarships in South Africa and UK is closed
