This application for the FoodBev SETA Research and Innovation Bursary for the year 2021 is now open for all South African students in South Africa.
The Food and Beverage Manufacturing Sector Education and Training Authority (FoodBev SETA) invites recognised public universities of South Africa to apply for Postgraduate Research and Innovation Bursary Programme for students studying towards their Doctorate (PhD) and Master’s degrees for the 2021 academic year.
The FoodBev SETA has developed the Research Bursary Programme in response to the research and development needs of the food and beverages manufacturing sector. Research and development contribute to the body of knowledge and adds on the sectoral research innovation capacity. In addition, the programme also contributes towards the skills needed (i.e. researchers) to produce research that is relevant and has a positive impact on the sector, whilst at the same time advancing the FoodBev SETA research agenda. Therefore, students with approved research proposals (PhD) and with research topics relevant and responsive to the food and beverages Manufacturing value chain are encouraged to apply for this research grant.

Master’s students are eligible to receive a maximum of R120,000.00 (i.e. for the duration of the study) based on the evaluation outcome of the students’ approved research topics.
PhD students are eligible to receive a maximum of R150,000.00 (i.e. for the duration of the study) based on the evaluation outcome of the students’ approved proposals.
