Applicants must be PhD candidates or holders and early-career researchers or academics at an ACU member university, including eligible Ugandan institutions. They must be within seven years of starting their academic career, allowing career breaks. Only one place is offered per university.
Researchers learn how to communicate findings to public audiences and pitch stories to the media. Training combines group sessions and individualized feedback.
Benefits
Twenty funded places, two two-hour group sessions and individual feedback on a 250–350-word media pitch. Training covers story selection, audience, language, structure and avoiding misrepresentation.
Requirements
Complete the ACU application establishing PhD status, institutional affiliation and career-stage eligibility. Selected participants develop a media pitch for feedback.
How to apply
Register or sign in to MyACU using the programme\'s application link, complete the training application and submit before 15:00 UTC. The current call schedules training in early to mid-2027.
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.
