Overview
The Government of Mauritius Fishermen Welfare Fund maintains a scholarship scheme for children of registered fishers in Mauritius and Rodrigues, spanning school, vocational, undergraduate/professional and postgraduate education.
Complete scholarship details
The official Fishermen Welfare Fund page states that the scheme currently has 168 scholarships. Published monthly stipends are MUR 500 for Post-PSAC/Post-NCE and NC2–3 vocational levels, MUR 1,000 for Post-SC and NC4–5, MUR 2,000 for Post-HSC diploma/degree/professional study and NC6+, and MUR 2,500 for postgraduate study for up to two years. The official page links the scholarship application form. A current universal cycle closing date is not published on the standing scheme page, so no deadline is asserted.
Eligibility requirements
The scheme is intended for children of registered fishers in Mauritius and Rodrigues. Applicants must follow the official scholarship form and the Fund's applicable selection/stream requirements for their education level.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Reverified from the official Government of Mauritius Fishermen Welfare Fund page. The earlier draft's 16 October 2026 cycle deadline was removed because the current standing government page does not publish that deadline and the current University of Mauritius assistance page does not establish a Fishermen Welfare Fund 2026/27 cycle. Stipends and the current count of 168 scholarships are stated on the official Fund page.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
