Subject: [saabnet] Deadline for application of SAAB scholarships

To all student and ordinary SAAB Members,

Now that the annual congress is behind us it is time to start thinking about the academic year ahead.  Please remember to apply for a SAAB Scholarship if you are short of funds for your studies.

Each year the South African Association of Botanists awards "SAAB Scholarships", to  SADEC graduates with 70% or above grade average. In 2014, three awards of R10 000 for 1 year of tertiary study at Honours level (or 4th year level of study) in any botanically-related science will be granted to three registered students, on a competitive basis.  The successful applicants should study at a South African institution and should be (or apply to become) a member of SAAB.  The supervisor of the student must be a paid-up member of the South African Association of Botanists.

How to apply (please include with application):
1.         Submit a curriculum vitae with names of two referees.
2.         Provide a letter of motivation from your honours/4th year project supervisor
3.         Submit certified academic transcripts.
4.         Provide a one page motivation, including a description of your honours/ 4th year research interests.
5.         Disclose name(s) of other bursaries/scholarships applied for and amount(s).
6.         Post your application by the deadline: 22 February 2014.

No late applications will be considered. The Council also reserves the rights not to make any awards should the candidates not fulfil all criteria.  Successful candidates will be notified mid-March of the year of the award.  The decision of the adjudicating committee is final.

Please post applications electronically (in .pdf format) to: forsaab at telkomsa.net<mailto:forsaab at telkomsa.net>
