FULLY FUNDED EUROPEAN UNION INTRA-AFRICA PERI-ACE MOBILITY & SCHOLARSHIPS

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: 17 September 2026.

LOCATION: Multiple Regions

PERI-ACE supports at least 40 emerging scholars through strategically funded master’s and doctoral studies, traineeships, and staff mobility—all designed to maximize employability and academic growth. 

ELIGIBILITY:

African nationals who are currently studying, working at, or recently graduated from one of the six PERI-ACE core partner institutions. Specific eligibility varies by mobility type — refer to the Application Guidelines. 

PERI-ACE is committed to equitable access. The project targets women’s participation across all mobility categories, with deliberate outreach to applicants in climate-related STEM fields. Applications are actively encouraged from candidates from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, fragile states, least-developed regions, and those with refugee status and from candidates with disabilities. To promote regional diversity, mobility will be distributed equitably across diverse nationalities. 

The 40 mobility opportunities are distributed across four categories: 

Master’s scholarships — combining full-degree mobilities of 24 months and credit-seeking mobilities of 10 months. 

Doctoral scholarships—36-month research programmes aligned with regional climate priorities. 

Traineeships — five-month placements at associated partners ICPAC and AMCOW. 

Provision is also made for one special-needs scholarship to support a candidate with disabilities. 

English is the primary language of instruction across the consortium. Selected programmes at 2iE and Cheikh Anta Diop University are delivered in French, and at Eduardo Mondlane University, in Portuguese. 

PERI-ACE includes dedicated funding for disabled or special-needs support, including tailored study materials, assistive arrangements, counseling services, and integration support.

Calls are issued cohort by cohort across the four-year project. Doctoral and first MSc cohort calls open in Year 1; further MSc, traineeship, and staff-exchange calls follow in subsequent years. Follow the project website and social media for announcements.

Application Deadline for February, 2027: 18 January 2027

LOCATION: United Kingdom

University College Birmingham provides a scholarship scheme for all new international undergraduate and postgraduate students who meet the payment deadlines specified in the table below.

The deadlines refer to dates your payment is received by UCB and not dates you made the payments. To be eligible for the scholarship, your payment must have reached the UCB account by each deadline.

ELIGIBILITY:

To apply for this scholarship, you must fulfill the following criteria:

You must have received and accepted an offer to study in a full-time undergraduate, postgraduate, or International Foundation Diploma programme at University College Birmingham. Part-time courses, distance learning courses, or other levels of study are not eligible.

You must have overseas fee status and be paying overseas tuition fees. Home fee payers are not eligible.

To be eligible for each component of the scholarship, your payment must reach UCB accounts by the corresponding deadline, unless you have proof that you initiated the payment more than two weeks prior to the deadline.

This scholarship is available to students’ first year of study only.

You agree to provide testimonials, feature in case studies, and/or participate in marketing activities upon request.

The Early Action Scholarship will be awarded automatically to students who meet the eligibility criteria.

The EAS cannot be combined with a merit scholarship offered by UCB. The scholarship with a higher value will be awarded to you. The only exception is when you pay your tuition fee balance in full before enrollment, in which case you will be eligible for Part C of EAS together with the merit scholarship you have been awarded. The total value of any combined scholarships that you get will not exceed 100% of your first-year tuition fee.
