Malawi, Zambia & Zimbabwe 2011/2012 Beit Scholarship Trust for Students

2011-06-15T11:55:00.000+01:00

Study in UK, Ireland or South Africa
Application Deadline by 31 August 2011.

Each year the Beit Trust offers a small number of study abroad Scholarships for postgraduate taught or research programmes to students who are domiciled in Malawi, Zambia or Zimbabwe (the beneficial area). Scholarships are taken up at a university in the United Kingdom, Ireland or South Africa, for study in a subject of the individual's choice appropriate to the needs of the beneficial area. Prospective applicants must hold at least a degree of class 2.1, i.e. Merit or Distinction.

Eligibility
Only those applicants who state that they intend to return to work in the relevant country upon completion of the scholarship, and who can, if short-listed, present themselves for interview before a Beit Scholarship Selection Board in Harare, Blantyre or Lusaka towards the middle of December, will be considered.

Selection is highly competitive, and only postgraduates with at least a Merit (equivalent to a good 2.1 from a UK university) in their first degree are likely to succeed. The selectors favour practical and useful disciplines that are likely to offer a clear benefit to the beneficial area. Because of their high cost, MBAs and PhDs are very seldom awarded in the UK, but a taught MBA at the Universities of Cape Town is acceptable.

Scholarship Worth
Fees and costs of tuition and related academic expenses are paid by the Trust direct to the universities.
Scholars receive a personal allowance, index linked in accordance with guidance from an independent authority covering maintenance support.
Other allowances are paid for arrival, a laptop and printing of a thesis, and return to Africa.
Economy Class air passages are met by the Trust for the initial journey to the place of study, and for the return at the end of the course.
No allowances are paid for spouses or other family members.

Scholarship Duration
Duration is normally for a maximum of three years at the discretion of Trustees. In addition, awards for a one-year taught Masters Degree are offered at the University of Leeds, known as the Beit-Leeds Scholarship (BL); at the University of Reading, known as the Beit-Reading Scholarship (BRG); and at Rhodes University, known as the Beit-Rhodes Scholarship (BRU).

Source of Funding
BL Scholarship expenses are shared equally between The Beit Trust and the University of Leeds, which undertakes the administration.
BRG Scholarship expenses are shared between The Beit Trust and the University of Reading, which again undertakes the administration.
Some BRU Scholarship expenses are met by Rhodes University, but the Beit Trust handles the administration.

There is no academic difference between these shared scholarships and fully-funded scholarships. Many Beit Scholars choose these popular Africa-friendly universities where shared costs permit more scholarships to be offered to the beneficial area.
The Trust cannot consider applications from those who have already commenced their course.

Age Limit/ Work Experience
All applicants except medical and veterinary doctors must be under 30 years of age on 31 December of the year of application. Some experience of work after completion of a first degree is desirable. Doctors and vets must be under 35 years of age on 31 December and should have completed 18 months of internship and preferably a one-year rural posting in the relevant country.

How to Apply
