Scholarship Description
The National Institute for Theoretical Physics (NITheP) offers bursaries on the Honours, Masters and Doctoral levels for students studying in Theoretical Physics or a closely related discipline. These bursaries are available at ALL South African tertiary institutions for both South African and foreign students.
In cases where there is no formal program in Theoretical Physics, NITheP will endeavour to support graduate projects which qualify as being of a theoretical physics nature by involving co-supervisors from those institutions which do host such programs.
This is a Graduate Bursary Scheme funded through South Africa's National Research Foundation (NRF). The value and duration of the bursaries are subject to annual revisions.
