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 four-year degree from an accredited African or US university, or graduating by June 2027
[ ] 35 or under for the whole fellowship year
[ ] a full year, starting between June and August 2027, living where the placement is

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] CV or resume (One or two pages. No CV yet? Our CV starter builds a plain one from your answers.)
[ ] References (Ask your referees now and send them the listing. Give them time.)
[ ] Transcripts (Ask your school early. Offices can take weeks.)
[ ] Essay, statement or proposal (Answer the question they ask, in your own words, with real examples.)
In their words: "An online application with questionnaires and essays, a CV of up to two pages in PDF, an official transcript sent by your university to Princeton in Africa, and one letter of recommendation."

3. DATES
- Closes 26 October 2026, in 4 days.
- Ask your referees and your school for transcripts today. Others need time to write and send. (our advice)
- Aim to send it by 23 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

4. WHAT IT COSTS YOU
- Fee: $350 if you accept. Financial aid available.

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
