Applications are now open for the 2025 African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) AI for Science Scholarship Program. AI for Science is a stream in AIMS South Africa‘s Master’s degree in Mathematical Science, made possible through a partnership with Google DeepMind. The program sits at the exciting intersection of AI and the Sciences.
Requirements
To be eligible to apply for the AI for Science program, you have to:
- be a resident in Africa at time of application*,
- be a citizen of any country in Africa,

Application Procedure:
Register at apply.aims.ac.za and upload the following documents there before 11:59 PM on 21 March 2025:
- Your curriculum vitae
- A motivation letter of around 500 words
- Academic transcripts
- Written mathematics questions (to be found on the application site)
- Coding problem (to be found on the application site)
The online application includes a dozen short mathematics questions and one coding problem. It’s not an exam, but the questions give the selection panel some insight into how you approach problems. A full application can’t be completed at the last minute, and we encourage prospective Google DeepMind Scholars at AIMS South Africa to start applying early!
Interviews
The final round consists of short online interviews in May 2025.
