Will students funded under PCS receive uninterrupted study support?

Yes, however, they must complete their degree within the NRF funding period and obtain the required minimum of 65% in their degree.

Please note: Uninterrupted study support is funding of postgraduate students from the honours up to the doctoral level. Students must register for a master’s degree immediately after completing the honours degree and/or register for a doctoral degree immediately after completing the master’s degree. In addition they will have to make a new scholarship application for each study level and meet the stipulated academic entry requirements.
