This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/imperial-presidents-phd-scholarships-2026
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
[ ] A new PhD application to an Imperial department (current Imperial PhD students cannot apply), with an excellent academic record: the scheme has higher than usual eligibility requirements
[ ] Some departments may be unable to support international candidates, so check with your chosen department

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 1 March 2027, in 130 days.
- On the date, the listing says: Three rounds: apply by 23:59 UK time on 2 November 2026, 11 January 2027 or 1 March 2027; awards are notified by 31 January, 15 April and 31 May 2027 respectively.
- Aim to send it by 26 February 2027. 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
