The Scholarships are open to anyone writing the English language who was born in Africa or both of whose parents were born in Africa.

- At the discretion of the Foundation, Scholars writing non-fiction may receive a grant of up to £27,000 paid over a period of up to eighteen months.
ELIGIBILITY
- To qualify for the scholarship a candidate must submit an excerpt from a piece of work of between 2,000-5,000 words written in English that has been published and offered for sale.
- This will be evaluated by a panel of readers and judges set up by the MMF
