Ugandan graduate students are eligible because the programme welcomes students enrolled in graduate programmes locally and globally. Applicants must remain enrolled in a graduate degree such as a PhD, MFA, MA, MPhil or MBA when the fellowship is taken and should be at an advanced stage of research or prospectus development with a fully conceptualised project related to their degree.
The Beinecke Library Fellowship Program supports graduate students undertaking substantial onsite research with Yale Library Special Collections. Applications are welcomed from graduate programmes at universities and colleges anywhere in the world.
Benefits
Fellows receive USD 5,000 per month for research visits lasting between one and four months, allowing total fellowship funding of up to USD 20,000. Fellowships must be taken between 2027-07-01 and 2028-06-30.
Requirements
Applicants submit an application form, CV of no more than three pages, research proposal of no more than 1,200 words, detailed list of Yale Special Collections materials with collection names and call numbers or links and one confidential recommendation. The proposal must demonstrate substantive need for onsite use of the collections.
How to apply
Prepare the project proposal and identify the Yale materials required for the research. Complete the fellowship application through Interfolio, upload the application materials and arrange the confidential recommendation. All materials must be received by 2026-09-15.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
