LL.M. Funding Opportunities through Anti-Poverty Project at Stellenbosch

The Stellenbosch University Law Faculty in Stellenbosch, South Africa has invited prospective students interested in its LL.M. program to apply for bursaries and research assistantships associated with its "Combating Poverty, Homelessness and Socio-Economic Vulnerability under the Constitutional Dispensation" research project.

Students interested conducting their research within the project during their LL.M. (or LL.D.) studies can receive financial support of R 83,000 per year (R 105,000 for LL.D. students).

According to the law faculty, the project "encourages new and creative thinking in all areas of the law related to overcoming economic and social marginalisation," and is coordinated by Professors Sandra Leibenberg and AJ van der Walt.

Applications for the financial support are due on June 30 for students wishing to begin in January 2010.
