The following eight steps will be used in the selection process of students to benefit from the CREATE-GreenAfrica project:

1. The coordinating institution will receive applications and forward them to the target host university, which will subsequently shortlist the candidates.
2. The coordinator will receive the compilation of shortlisted candidates from the host institution.
3. The CREATE-GreenAfrica selection committee will review the shortlisted candidates and carry out the selection of candidates to receive scholarships (based on eligibility, authenticity of academic documents and qualification for admission by the target host university).
4. Communication of results by the coordinator to the applicants, scholarship awardees and host institutions.
5. Create-GreenAfrica selection committee may go further review, if there is any, appeal regarding the selection process.
6. Signing of the contracts between the CREATE-GreenAfrica and the scholarship beneficiaries and subsequent sending of the signed contracts to the host universities.
7. The hosting university will facilitate the travel and settling in/out of the awardees to/from the respective university and subsequently assign an academic mentor to assist them in successfully completing their study.
8. The awarded candidates will be required to bear the air ticket cost to the hosting institution and will be reimbursed the air ticket cost and any direct cost they incur during the admission process after arrival to the hosting institution.
