Canon Collins Trust Post Graduate Scholarships
Deadline: 11 August 2009
The Canon Collins Trust provides scholarships to students from Zimbabwe
who wish to pursue a postgraduate degree (mainly Master's degrees
of one or two years) in either the United Kingdom or South Africa.
The key aim of the Scholarships Programme is to help build the human
resources necessary for economic, social and cultural development
in the southern African region and to develop an educated and skilled
workforce that can benefit the wider community. Canon Collins Trust
scholarship holders are thus expected to use the knowledge, training
and skills acquired through their studies to contribute positively
to the development of their home country. The main application process
for scholarships in South Africa opens in April and closes in August,
for study the following year. A panel of academics and others consider
the applications. To qualify, you must have completed either a university
degree or a three year post-matric diploma at a recognised training
college or a B.Tech at a former Technikon. We fund both full-time
and part-time study. For further information about the scholarship,
visit www.canoncollins.org.uk
or e-mail canoncollins@iafrica.com

approaches and/or develop local capacities. Specifically, the grant
will provide support to activities such as meetings, workshops,
publications, media coverage, promotion and advocacy of human rights,
propagation of scientific methods and trainings and conferences
for building the capacities of NGOs in developing countries. Proposals
need to be developed for projects that can end by the year 2010.
However, even projects running for duration of three years can also
