Sources of funding and/or scholarship for African scholars in the paleosciences:
Francis H. Brown African Scholarship for human origins-related research in geology and/or botany
Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University visiting scholars program
As I see funded PhD positions and job postings for early-career researchers, I will post them here for quick reference.
Most of these come from listservs you can also join! E.g.,
Society for Africanist Archaeologists
There is also a comprehensive list of Postdoctoral opportunities across multiple sciences (some way out of area) maintained here.
This list is not comprehensive and will rapidly become out of date! However, hopefully it can be a resource for someone who happens across my page.
