I understand the importance of financial support for postgraduate studies.

Which is why I’m excited to share details about the respectable Dudley D’Ewes Scholarship. The scholarship program is offered by the Cape Tercentenary Foundation.

It provides South African students who are pursuing postgraduate studies in specific fields, thereby lifting their financial burdens and helping them achieve academic excellence.
