The scholarship is full and covers tuition, computer equipment and travel for the in-person sessions in Ouagadougou. Applicants must hold a two-year higher education qualification in engineering and meet social vulnerability criteria, with priority given to women and people with disabilities. The age limit is 25, raised to 27 for people with disabilities. The application includes diplomas, transcripts and proof of social situation, submitted through the dedicated online platform before 31 August 2026.
