In the past, the Constitutional Court Trust has administered other fellowship opportunities, primarily for the benefit of young South Africans who had clerked at the Constitutional Court.

The Ismail Mahomed Fellowship for law clerks was an annual fellowship established in 2001 in honour of the former Chief Justice Mahomed. It was made possible by a grant funded by a charitable organisation, the Atlantic Philanthropies. This fellowship scheme lasted for 20 years with the final two Ismail Mahomed fellows completing their studies in 2021.

The purpose of the fellowship was to provide an opportunity for international postgraduate study to a South African who has served as a law clerk either at the Constitutional Court or the Supreme Court of Appeal and has demonstrated a commitment to human rights.

In the course of the Ismail Mahomed Fellowship, 23 fellows successfully completed postgrduate law degrees at various universities in North America, including the University of Michigan Law School (6 fellows), the University of Notre Dame (5 fellows), University of Toronto (4 fellows), Duke University (4 fellows), Harvard University (2 fellows), Columbia Law School (1 fellow), Fordham University (1 fellow), and Oxford University (1 fellow).

There have been no more calls for application for the Ismail Mahomed Fellowship after 2020.
