Overview: The Ruth First Educational Trust was established to enable members of historically disadvantaged communities in South Africa to study at the University of Durham.
A fund for this purpose has existed since 1964 and in 1982 it was renamed in memory of Ruth First, who taught at the University during her exile from South Africa until she was assassinated in Mozambique. The fund is financed by donations from students, staff, other supporters in Durham, trade unions and Durham County Council.
After 1994, the focus shifted to the funding of postgraduate study, and since 2007 the geographical scope has been extended to accept applications from other countries in southern Africa as well as the Republic of South Africa (Lesotho, Swaziland, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, Zambia and Malawi).
