The final week of August is bringing a wave of deadlines for scholarships, fellowships, competitions, training programmes and career opportunities across Africa.

Apply Carefully and Avoid Scams

A short deadline should never mean rushing into an unsafe application. Before submitting anything:

  • Confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements.
  • Check the deadline on the organiser's official website.
  • Use the official application portal whenever possible.
  • Prepare required documents in advance.
  • Never pay someone who promises to guarantee selection.
  • Do not provide unnecessary sensitive information to unofficial websites.


Conclusion 

Deadlines can change, and some programmes may close at a specific time rather than at the end of the stated date. Always verify the latest information on the official programme website before applying.

For younger students, remember that many fellowships, graduate programmes and professional opportunities have minimum-age or educational requirements. Focus on programmes that explicitly accept applicants in your age group and involve a parent, guardian or trusted adult when reviewing applications.

The most important step is simple: check your eligibility, verify the opportunity, and submit before the deadline.

Grok Ends Free Plan for Video Creations — Creators React

Image
In a move that’s shaking up the AI creator space, Grok—developed by xAI—has reportedly ended free access to its video creation features. What was once an exciting playground for creators experimenting with AI-generated videos is now shifting toward a paid model, leaving many users frustrated, surprised, and scrambling for alternatives. For months, Grok attracted digital creators with its powerful ability to generate engaging videos quickly. From short-form social content to storytelling visuals, it became a go-to tool—especially for those who couldn’t afford premium software. But now, that door appears to be closing. Why This Matters The removal of free video creation hits hardest for small creators, students, and emerging digital entrepreneurs who rely on cost-free tools to build content and grow their audience. With AI video becoming a major trend in 2026, accessibility is everything—and this move could widen the gap between big creators and beginners. What Users Are Saying Across pl...
