Scholarships are intended to support Honours, Master’s, and Doctoral candidates. The CHR is home to the DSI-NRF Flagship on Critical Thought in African Humanities and the NRF SARChI Chair in Visual History and Theory. The application process can be challenging to new students, but please note there are detailed guidelines on the NRF website to help you navigate the process successfully. We encourage students to speak with their supervisors about their prospective projects and to contact the postgraduate office at UWC. We would also like to encourage applicants who may want to work with the DSI-NRF Flagship and the NRF SARChI Chair in Visual History at the CHR to contact us at centreforhumanitiesresearch@uwc.ac.za.
