The first category, PhD fellowships is intended for freshly enrolled candidates, who are at the very beginning of their studies. The grant will cover expenses including tuition, living expenses and a semester abroad at a Canadian university. A total of 4 grants will be offered.

The second category, Doctoral Research Awards is intended to support PhD candidates, who have completed the required course work and/or other preliminary doctoral requirements as instructed by their universities.

Eligible candidates are those who are ready to start the phase of conducing their field work, analyzing their data and writing their thesis. It will cover expenses like field research, data analysis, associated travel, and production costs. 11 awards will be offered in this category.

Support from the two programs will enable UPEACE Africa programme to train a total of 30 PhD candidates registered with universities in Sub Saharan Africa.
