KAS has funded an internship and Master’s scholarship program since 1999 run by SAIIA’s Cape Town office in conjunction with the University of the Witwatersrand. These Konrad Adenauer Foundation-SAIIA Scholarships provide eligible South African students with the opportunity to enroll for a master’s degree by course work in International Relations, Development Studies, Political Science, Economics, Law or Journalism, and other related subjects within the Humanities and Social Sciences discipline for the 2025/2025 academic session, while simultaneously working at SAIIA.
The program is output-focused and the KAS-SAIIA scholars are assigned to mentors and generally go on to high-profile and high-powered positions in public and private life. The scholars are supported in honing their methodological, research, and writing skills, and are encouraged to co-author articles in SAIIA publications and to improve their presentation and organizational skills.
