The Konstantin Sofianos Scholarship applications are open to all students who have been accepted to the 2022 English Honours programme at the University of Cape Town (UCT).

The scholarship amount currently stands at R30,000 (ZAR). Selection of the scholarship winner is decided on the strength of a literary essay written by applicants – and not on the basis of other determiners, like prior academic record or financial background.
