Who can apply

International applicants, including Ugandans, may apply. A four-year bachelor\'s degree in geology, geophysics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering or a suitably related field is expected. Applicants should normally have mathematics through integral calculus plus differential equations or statistics, one year of chemistry and one year of calculus-based physics. A master\'s degree is not required.

About this opportunity

Texas A&M University\'s Geology and Geophysics PhD admits students for Fall 2027 with departmental consideration for full financial support. Applicants may enter directly from a bachelor\'s degree and receive support through assistantships, fellowships, scholarships or sponsorship.

Benefits
Every admitted PhD applicant receives a full-support commitment assembled from graduate teaching assistantships, graduate research assistantships, named fellowships, scholarships or external sponsorship. Funding decisions are made alongside admission. Exact stipend and coverage must be confirmed in the individual offer.

Requirements
Minimum 3.0/4.0 GPA; GraduateCAS form; unofficial transcripts; CV; personal statement; three academic recommendations; TOEFL or IELTS where required. IELTS Academic minimum is 6.0; TOEFL requirements depend on the test version and date. GRE is neither required nor considered. Applicants must identify a suitable research adviser, ideally after contacting faculty before applying.

How to apply
Apply for Fall 2027 through GraduateCAS, upload all documents and arrange recommendations by 1 December 2026. Contact potential supervisors before submission because admission requires an identified research adviser.

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.
