Who can apply
Uganda is one of the programme\'s eligible African focus countries. Applicants must be eligible youth-led organisations operating in a focus country and satisfy the governance, age, registration and organisational requirements in the Funding Manual. The current entrepreneurship call focuses on initiatives advocating for an enabling environment for young entrepreneurs.
About this opportunity
AU-EU Youth Action Lab Entrepreneurship Grants support youth organisations working to create a stronger enabling environment for young entrepreneurs. Eleven grants will be awarded in the programme\'s third and final call.
Benefits
Each selected organisation receives exactly EUR 31,500 for a 12-month project running from January through December 2027. The programme also provides participation in the Youth Action Lab ecosystem and grant-related organisational and learning support.
Requirements
Applicants must review the Funding Manual, confirm organisational and youth-leadership eligibility and prepare a proposal aligned with the Entrepreneurship Grant objective. The application requires organisational information, project rationale, planned activities, expected outcomes, implementation approach and the financial information specified by the programme.
How to apply
Read the official Entrepreneurship Grant Funding Manual and confirm eligibility, prepare the proposal as an individual organisation or eligible collaboration and submit the complete application through the AU-EU Youth Action Lab application system by 2026-09-23 at 13:00 Central African Time.
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.
