SANS Killie Campbell Bursary

Description

The SANS Killie Campbell Bursary is an initiative by the South African National Society aimed at nurturing students' academic pursuits in the realm of History. In honor of Dr. Killie Campbell, this bursary provides significant financial support to postgraduate students whose research focuses on South African History, with a special emphasis on KwaZulu-Natal's historical context. With a total value estimated at R25,000, recipients will receive their funds in two equal payments, ensuring their study-related expenses are supported throughout their academic journey. The bursary process is not merely about financial assistance; it involves an interactive selection phase where candidates may be interviewed and must present their research topics at society meetings. Candidates must adhere strictly to the eligibility criteria, including the requirement of conducting their studies at recognized South African universities. Applications must include a comprehensive dossier covering personal details, academic achievements, and specifics about the proposed study. Eligibility stipulations emphasize the necessity for students to engage deeply with South African heritage through their dissertations. The SANS reserves the right to withhold awards if no suitable candidates are identified, making the application process competitive and selective. With a clear closing date of July 31, 2025, interested applicants should be diligent in their preparation and submission to not miss out on this opportunity that champions the importance of South African history.
