Funding & benefits
The Faculty of Law invests significantly in raising donor support so that we are able, in turn, to support our students in as many ways as possible in addition to what is funded through the Faculty’s general operating budget.
Currently, the Faculty of Law offers the following:
Scholarships
UCT Law Faculty offers a range of scholarships to undergraduate students, and those doing a graduate LLB.Since funding is limited, these scholarships are competitive, and are awarded based on academic performance. Each type of scholarship may have other criteria in addition to good academic performance.Calls for scholarship applications for the following year are made towards the end of each academic year, and these calls can be found on the Law Faculty website – so watch the website space.
UCT Law Faculty also offers a number of postgraduate scholarships, with regular application cycles, also listed on the Faculty website.
