The application takes real work, by our reading.

[ ] Studying at graduate level (master's or above); bachelor's students cannot enter
[ ] Born in 1997 or later

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] Passport (If you do not have one, applying for one takes weeks. Check it has not expired.)

It also names something beyond these; read their words below.
In their words: "Passport or ID copy, proof of graduate enrolment, an anonymised Solution Brief of up to 1,000 words on the template, and a video of up to 3 minutes"

3. DATES
- Closes 1 February 2027, in 102 days.
- Aim to send it by 29 January 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
