Who can apply
Ugandan researchers can apply through an eligible Ugandan administering organisation. Applicants must meet Wellcome\'s early-career degree or equivalent research-experience conditions and must not already have reached the research-independence level expected of a mid-career researcher. Proposed work must advance understanding of human life, health or wellbeing.
About this opportunity
Wellcome Early-Career Awards support researchers from any discipline who are ready to establish their research identity through innovative work related to human life, health and wellbeing. Uganda is an eligible low- and middle-income-country location for administering organisations.
Benefits
Awards normally provide the applicant\'s salary and up to GBP 400,000 in research expenses for a project usually lasting up to five years. Certain eligible costs sit outside the GBP 400,000 limit, including qualifying visa and immigration expenses, overseas allowances and specified relocation or family-related costs.
Requirements
Applicants need an eligible administering organisation, a qualifying research proposal, appropriate early-career evidence, institutional support and a detailed budget. The application includes the scientific case, applicant information and all organisational and supporting information required through Wellcome Funding.
How to apply
Confirm applicant and host-organisation eligibility, develop the research proposal and budget with the administering organisation and submit the complete application through Wellcome Funding by 15:00 GMT on 2026-11-10.
Find scholarships, postgraduate study and internships
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Fully funded scholarships in Canada, the USA and Europe
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
Paid internships abroad and online internships
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
NGO jobs, entry-level jobs and internships in Uganda
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Application years and named scholarship programmes
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
