Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] The January intake is for South African applicants
[ ] A 4 year degree, or a 3 year degree plus honours, in a mathematical science, completed by December 2026
[ ] Never held an AIMS scholarship before

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "Online application at apply.aims.ac.za"

3. DATES
- Closes 31 October 2026, in 9 days.
- On the date, the listing says: The page gives the January intake window as August to October of the preceding year; 31 October 2026 is the end of that stated window.
- Aim to send it by 28 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
