How to Apply for Beit Trust Postgraduate Scholarship 2024-2025

The next round of applications will open during September 2023 for the academic year of 2024/2025 for UK Partner Universities, and for the academic years of 2025 and 2026 for South African Partner Universities.

UK Partner University Applications Procedure:

  1. Applicant should apply directly to one or more of the Partner Universities, and only to those universities. Apply via their websites, which will guide you.
  2. Alert the relevant university, as part of your study application, that you will be approaching the Beit Trust for scholarship funding.
  3. You may apply to more than one Partner University at a time as long as the course/s you wish to pursue is available. Indeed, the Trust recommends you do so, to have your chances of acceptance, and to broaden the scholarship opportunities available.
  4. You should apply as early as possible to The Beit Trust for a scholarship once you have an offer from your chosen Partner University.
  5. Upload all the supporting documents via the Scholarship application link, below in green.
  6. You need three referees: Academic, Character and Employer (as appropriate). They have separate and individual forms, the link for which must be forwarded to them by you, the applicant. The link becomes available once you have submitted your scholarship application form electronically.
  7. We prefer referees to use the link provided in the application form. If, however, they can only provide their reference by email, please forward them the relevant forms, which you can download below. Beit Trust Scholarship 2024/25

South African Partner University applications:

Because the South African University application process opens after the Beit Trust Scholarship application deadline of 20 February 2023, They will accept scholarship applications for South African Universities for the year 2024-2025 without a confirmed offer.

  • Please follow the steps above. Where you are asked to upload your university offer letter, please provide instead the details of the courses and universities that you will be applying for, in PDF format. Your scholarship application will then be considered alongside the applicants for UK universities, as part of the same entry-year cohort.
  • The Trust will sift your application as part of our selection process. If you are successful and shortlisted for an interview, you will go to the relevant Beit Trust national selection Board.
  • If you are then offered a scholarship from the Trust – and not all those selected for an interview receive an offer – you will then need to apply for entry to a South African Partner University (as set out on our website). You may indicate in your application that you have been awarded a Beit Scholarship.
  • Should you get an offer, we ask that you submit it to us as soon as you receive it. Should you not be successful in obtaining an offer, the scholarship will not, unfortunately, be available to you.
