The NRF minimum academic requirement for postgraduate funding is 65%. Applicants for Honours funding must be 28 years of age or younger in the year of application. Successful applicants will be funded either at Full Cost Study (FCS) or Partial Cost of Study (PCS). The FCS funding will be awarded to South African citizens and permanent residents only, who are either financially needy (i.e., those whose combined household family income is less or equal to R350 000 per annum), living with a disability or exceptional academic achievers. However, the PCS funding will be awarded to 5% of international students including South African citizens and permanent residents who could not be funded under FCS but meet other minimum requirements for the NRF scholarship funding criteria.
The NRF Online Submission System website (https://nrfsubmission.nrf.ac.za) is zero-rated, which means that users will not pay for any data whilst using the system.
