"I am delighted to announce additional funding for the UK's Chevening Scholarship Programme in South Africa," UK Minister for Africa Mark Simmonds said in Johannesburg.
Under a new partnership with education funder Canon Collins Trust, the government would co-fund six scholarships.
"This, and other planned increases in the funding we provide for Chevening in South Africa, will mean an uplift of over 25% in the number of scholarships available to young South Africans."
A new Bloodhound scholarship had also been created.
It would be administered by Chevening and would focus on the science, technology, engineering and mathematics sectors.
