How will students who started the first year of their master’s or doctoral studies in the year 2020 and before with NRF funding be funded under the DSI-NRF Postgraduate Funding Policy?

Master’s or doctoral students who started their first year of studies in 2020 or before will continue on the old funding model until completion of their degrees. The phasing out process of the old funding model will reach its end in 2023. From 2024 onwards all students will be on the new postgraduate funding model.
