This calendar of scholarship application dates aims to assist in estimating when international scholarship calls are likely to be
opened. The dates are based on previous calls and may change from year-to-year. The Department does not have control over
the scheduling of the calls for applications but will endeavour to update the calendar periodically to ensure it remains current and
as accurate as possible.
Please visit the International Scholarships Website at www.internationalscholarships.dhet.gov.za to explore open calls and to
subscribe to receive e-mail alerts when new opportunities become available.
