The Johannesburg Institute for Advanced Study (JIAS) Funded Writing Fellowship is a joint initiative of the University of Johannesburg (UJ), South Africa, and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. 

The JIAS is the first fully fledged institute of advanced learning in Gauteng, South Africa’s political and economic heartland and it is opening its doors to eligible fellows who are interested.

The aim of the scholarship is to promote advanced research in the humanities and natural sciences, beyond the regular teaching and research activities at institutions of higher learning. 

Fellowships are open to any field of expertise. Previous fellows have included academics, novelists, scientists, poets, playwrights, independent researchers and journalists. 

Please note that if successful, keep your scholarly commitments outside of JIAS to a minimum.
