About this opportunity

The Institute for Advanced Study School of Social Science invites approximately 20 scholars each year for intensive residential research. The 2027-28 theme is Understanding AI, while approximately half of selected members may pursue projects outside the annual theme.

Benefits
Institute stipends are designed to supplement salary or outside funding and can reach up to USD 80,000, while generally not exceeding half of the fellow\'s previous base salary. Members receive an office, library access, subsidised dining and access to Institute housing. Eligible members may also receive a modest research fund, limited relocation support and health-insurance or childcare subsidies under Institute rules.

Requirements
Applicants submit the online application, a research proposal of no more than four pages, curriculum vitae and a writing sample of up to 50 pages. Reference letters are neither required nor accepted.

How to apply
Create an account in the Institute for Advanced Study application system, complete the School of Social Science fellowship application and upload the research proposal, CV and writing sample. Submit all materials by 2026-10-15.

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.
