Cecil Renaud Scholarships

The Cecil Renaud Educational and Charitable Trust was established by Dr Cecil Renaud in 1988. Dr Renaud passed away on 3 June 1993 and bequeathed the residue of his estate to the Trust. Shortly after the Trust became active, the trustees established an Overseas Scholarship.

The Scholarship, usually granted annually to one or two students, is awarded for a maximum of two years for post-graduate study (Masters degree (or equivalent) or PhD) in the United Kingdom at a university of the student’s choice.

Since 1994, we have awarded 36 scholarships to the best and brightest young South Africans. Following the application deadline, candidates will be shortlisted and invited to interview. After the interviews, the trustees may select up to two candidates. The selection criteria can be found here.
