Application Deadline: March 14th, 2022
In 2016 the MRF partnered with the Leverhulme Trust to create a new doctoral scholarship only available to alumni of the Mandela Rhodes Scholars. This is a very compelling supplementary offering to the Mandela Rhodes experience, and a highly competitive opportunity as there are two scholarships available per year. The Shaun Johnson Memorial Scholarships were known as the Leverhulme Mandela Rhodes Doctoral Scholarships until March 2020, when they were renamed in honour of the founding Executive Director after he passed away unexpectedly.
Requirements:
- Candidates must be Mandela Rhodes Scholars seeking to do doctoral study in the UK
- Candidates must be beginning a new PhD – the SJMS does not provide support for PhDs which have already been started
A scholarship for doctoral studies in the UK, open exclusively to Mandela Rhodes Alumni
A partnership between the Mandela Rhodes Foundation and the Leverhulme Trust to amplify the impact of our alumni
Funding for your tuition
A stipend for living costs
Note: this scholarship is only open to Mandela Rhodes Alumni. If you’re looking for Honours and Master’s funding, please see the Mandela Rhodes Scholarship.
Selection Criteria
