Canon Collins Trust in partnership with Ros Moger and Terry Furlong group invite applications for the postgraduate study in South Africa 2024. Ros and Terry were inspirational London educationalists.
Since 2001 friends and family have raised funds in their memory to award scholarships in their name. More information about the history of the RMTF scholarships is here.
Canon Collins Trust in partnership with RMTF seek to support exceptional individuals who are committed to social justice in southern Africa and for whom a postgraduate qualification is an essential tool in working to create an open and just society.
In 2024, we will be making awards only to those studying in three areas:
1. Justice, which includes Climate Justice, Law, Economics and Politics
2. Education policy and practice
3. Humanities, which includes Literature, History, Anthropology and the Arts
Please only apply if your program of study falls into one of these disciplines.
Courses and doctoral studies that span multiple disciplines can be challenging to classify easily. Therefore, applicants are advised to use their own discretion when deciding whether to apply. However, applications that clearly fall outside the realms of Justice, Education, or Humanities (such as MBAs, economics, medical sciences, sports sciences, applied sciences) will not be eligible for funding consideration.
For Master’s programs, funding can be provided for a maximum duration of two years, while for Ph.D. programs, funding can be provided for up to three years. The continuation of funding is contingent upon satisfactory progress and submission of academic reports.
About Us
The Educational Trust for southern Africa was founded in 1981 by the British Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa (BDAF), principally by Ethel de Keyser, director of BDAF and Canon John Collins, the founder of BDAF. After the passing of Canon Collins, the Trust was renamed the Canon Collins Educational Trust for southern Africa.
Benefits of Canon Collins RMTF Scholarships

The value of the scholarship package will range from R20,000 to R100,000 depending on student circumstances. We support both full and part-time study and will consider applications from those who wish to study by distance learning.
