Anzisha Fellowship 2027
Business-growth support for young African founders already operating a venture.
Open callShare this opportunity
Is this worth your time?
Prioritise this if you are a very young founder already doing the work. Do not spend the remaining application window trying to turn an untested idea into evidence of an operating business.
Ubunifu editorial assessment, not an organiser eligibility decision.A stronger fit when...
African citizens aged 15-22 who founded a venture operating in Africa and can demonstrate customers, sales or people served. A formal company registration is not essential. Kenyan founders can fit the geographic requirement; individual selection is still competitive.
Pause or look elsewhere when...
An idea without actual activity, an applicant outside the age band, or a person who is not a founding member. Treat this as venture development, not an automatic cash award or a general scholarship.
What the support actually means
The multi-year fellowship supports business growth and job creation. A particular cash allocation, equipment package or guaranteed investment for every fellow was not confirmed in the reviewed application page.
Costs and commitments: Application is free.
Your costs, time and commitments
Applying is free. The current indexed 2027 call closes on 10 November 2026 and describes evaluation through March 2027, with fellows announced in May. Weekly workload and travel funding need confirmation in the current guide.
How selection or access works
The application guide governs evidence and submission requirements. Show real activity and your contribution rather than relying on an impressive pitch. The complete scoring weights were not established in this review.
