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
[ ] An African student; Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Rwanda, Uganda, South Africa and Zimbabwe get an extra GBP 1,000
[ ] A first degree meeting the RAU entry requirements; a UK 2:1 equivalent earns the higher amount
[ ] An offer for a full-time taught MSc at the RAU starting in January 2027 (the September 2026 intake has begun); selection follows accepting the offer and paying the deposit
[ ] Study in person in Cirencester, UK, with a UK student visa; the award covers part of the fees only

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 award's online application form, after an RAU offer"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: The September 2026 intake has passed. No closing date is stated for January 2027. You need an offer from the university.

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
