At CISL, we hope to provide the support required which may otherwise prevent a student from taking the opportunity to join our programmes focused on Sustainability Leadership in the Built Environment. Our scholarships and bursaries are designed to support students who show academic merit and can benefit from financial assistance to pursue their professional development through our Master's in the Interdisciplinary Design of the Built Environment (IDBE).
Our scholarships and bursaries range from 10 to 50 percent of the combined graduate fee. CISL encourages applicants to apply for multiple funding options if they meet the eligibility criteria. To be considered, an application for each bursary or scholarship must be submitted separately from the programme application. Applications will be accepted until 16 May 2023.
