Overview

The Brandtech Group AI for Good Scholarship 2026 aims to identify and support five young African leaders who are actively utilizing Artificial Intelligence to address pressing social, environmental, and economic challenges. Selected scholars will receive the opportunity to attend the One Young World Summit in Cape Town, South Africa.

Coverage

Specific details regarding travel, accommodation, and per diems should be verified on the official application portal.

Eligibility

Applicants must be citizens and residents of African nations. The program is primarily targeted at young leaders between the ages of 18 and 30, though individuals slightly older may be considered if they demonstrate exceptional impact and initiative.

Requirements

Candidates must demonstrate a proven track record of using AI to solve real-world problems. This includes, but is not limited to, work in health, education, climate action, misinformation detection, civic engagement, and social equity. Applicants should provide evidence of their work, such as a working product, community deployment, or documented field outcomes.

How to apply

Interested candidates must submit their applications through the official One Young World website. Ensure all sections of the application form are completed and that your impact in the field of AI is clearly articulated.

Notes

This is not a traditional academic scholarship for diploma or degree programs; it is a leadership and summit-access opportunity for practitioners and innovators.
