Who can apply

Ugandan citizens may enter because U.S. citizenship is not required. Entrants must be 34 or younger on 2026-12-31 and submit eligible professional journalism that appeared in U.S.-controlled media during 2026. One entry is permitted per individual and may consist of one piece or up to three closely related pieces. Eligible formats include text, video, audio and data visualisation; still photography alone is not eligible.

About this opportunity

The Livingston Awards recognise outstanding reporting by journalists younger than 35 in local, national and international reporting. Entry forms for journalism published during calendar year 2026 are officially scheduled to open in November 2026.

Benefits
Three USD 10,000 prizes are awarded annually for outstanding local, national and international reporting. There is no entry fee, and prize money is paid directly to the winning journalists rather than their news organisations. Winners are honoured through Wallace House and participate in an award outreach event.

Requirements
Entries must consist of professional journalism published or broadcast during 2026 and directly related to current events or provide new information about past events. Applicants provide the eligible work, entrant and editor or producer contact information and requested production information. Finalists must provide proof of age using an accepted identity document.

How to apply
When the 2026-work entry form opens in November 2026, create an account in the Livingston Awards application system, enter the journalist and publication details and upload or link the eligible reporting. Submit the entry by 2027-02-01 at 23:59 Eastern 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.
