University of Edinburgh is inviting applications for Desmond
Tutu Masters Scholarship for Africans. The scholarship will be
awarded to a student from Africa who is accepted for admission on a full-time
basis for a postgraduate Master’s programme of study within the School of
Divinity.
This scholarship was set up in 2009
to commemorate the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Divinity conferred by the
University on the Most Reverend Desmond Tutu.
During the graduation ceremony Archbishop Tutu spoke of the historic links
between Africa and the University of Edinburgh: "Some of our first black
physicians were people who had trained here and there is a long tradition that
links this university with our part of the world."
Eligibility
The scholarship will be awarded to
a student from Africa who is accepted for admission on a full-time basis for a
postgraduate Master's programme of study within the School of Divinity.
Applicants should already have been offered a place
at the University and should have firmly accepted that offer or be intending to
do so.
The scholarship will be awarded
broadly on the basis of academic merit with candidates requiring a Bachelor
Degree equivalent to a UK first class or
2:1 Honours degree.
In addition to the above academic qualifications, the selection panel will
also take into account the financial circumstances of applicants to ensure that
as far as possible a student's financial situation does not impede a university
education.
Scholarship value (What does it cover)
The scholarship will cover the full overseas tuition
fee and a maintenance allowance of £5,000. The award will be tenable for one
academic year.

Eligible applicants should complete an online scholarship application.
