RAPCAN Legacy Doctoral Scholarship for 2027

The RAPCAN Legacy Doctoral Scholarship is listed on a University of Cape Town postgraduate funding noticeboard for doctoral research relating to child abuse and neglect. The opportunity appears suited to applicants whose proposed research engages with prevention, child protection, safeguarding, policy, services or related questions, but the complete research scope and eligibility criteria must be checked in the current scholarship call. The listing asks applicants to use the UCT online funding application in PeopleSoft and to provide a concept of the research topic together with a letter of support from a supervisor.

The university notice gives 10 November 2026 as the deadline. The public notice reviewed for this record does not confirm the award value, eligible institutions beyond the application route shown, the full range of accepted research approaches or all supporting documents. These details should be verified before publication so potential applicants can assess suitability and avoid preparing an application for a programme that does not support their specific research topic.

This record is retained as an unpublished draft because the current university notice provides a useful lead and deadline but does not provide the complete funder rules. Applicants should check directly with the university postgraduate funding office for current requirements and use the funder name and research theme stated in the official notice.
