Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A long application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] applying as a first year student (finishing or just finished secondary school)
[ ] secondary school studies completed or nearly completed
[ ] an outstanding academic record; finalists are chosen from about 10,000 scholar applicants; Early Decision is binding

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: "The Emory application on the Common App, answering Yes to the Scholar Programs question"

3. DATES
- Closes 15 November 2026, in 24 days.
- On the date, the listing says: 1 November 2026 for Early Decision I (binding); 15 November 2026 for Early Decision II and Regular Decision
- Aim to send it by 12 November 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Fee: $75 to apply. Financial aid available.
- You pay your own travel and visa to the USA.

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
