GreenMatter Fellowship: Mapula Awards Call for Applications Open
Support for PhD Study in South Africa in 2015




The GreenMatter Fellowship Mapula Awards are focused on developing higher level skills for the UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserves in South Africa. Biosphere Reserves provide significant potential for incorporating socio-ecological benefits to traditional land management and is a national conservation focus.

The Mapula Award (Mapula meaning mother of rain), symbolises the seeding environment that founding award partners: GreenMatter, The Mapula Foundation, Stellenbosch University and the Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT), amongst others, are creating to decrease the scarcity levels by providing holistic development opportunities for local talent in Biosphere Reserve research and management.

Applicants are invited for the GreenMatter Fellowship - Mapula Awards for Doctoral study in South Africa for the 2015 academic year.

The Mapula Award will provide holistic support in the form of:

  *   A R120 000 cash contribution towards costs of living and study fees;
  *   The opportunity to access mentoring support, career guidance and platforms to engage in learning networks - estimated value of R50 000 per year.

  *   Seeking funding for a full-time doctoral programme at a South African higher education institue; and
