L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science South African National Programme

The programme was previously the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science subSaharan Africa Regional programme. Since its inception in 2010, the programme grew significantly and with the vision of empowering more young female scientists, we have decided to split the initial programme into two programmes:

• A new national programme for South Africa
• The regional programme for the 48 other countries in the Sub-Saharan Africa region 

Candidates commit to:

• Pursue the research work for which the L’Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science South African National programme grant was obtained. Within one year after receiving their grant, the young researchers are expected to submit a status report on the awarded research project to the L’Oréal Foundation
• Within one year after receiving their grant, the young researchers are expected to submit to the L’Oréal Foundation a final financial expenditure statement on the actual Fellowship expenditure incurred on the Research Project.

The payment of the grant will be made directly to the recipients after the awards ceremony after having received the original documents for the transfer of funds. (i.e. An original bank stamped confirming banking details).

The grants are not transferable for any other purpose whatsoever.
