The UK's Royal Agricultural College offers
fellowships to African students for the MSc in international rural development,
and MSc in sustainable agriculture and food security.
The RAC seeks applicants who have experience in
agriculture and related subjects; an interest in land reform; and a desire to
make a strategic and sustainable contribution to Africa's development. The
program supports up to 10 African fellows each year. The application
deadline is 03 January 2014.
Fellowships are offered to Africans mainly from
Sub-Saharan Africa who have experience in agriculture, food or natural resource
exploitation and management; an interest in land reform; and a desire to make a
strategic and sustainable contribution to Africa's development. In short,
tomorrow's innovators and leaders.
Scholarships cover tuition fees, board and
accommodation, flights to and from the UK and South Africa, provision for
networking and a short industrial placement mainly in South Africa under the
guidance of Stellenbosch University. Scholarships also cover incidental costs
whilst in the UK and on placement in South Africa; however, applicants are
advised that funding does not include provision for home and family costs.
