I think this has already been answered, but yes. It's singular. That's what I mean about everything else assuming you'd typoed: they all seem to read it as algunos.

I assume you go to the RAE before resorting to a bilingual dictionary first, right?

I mean, I think you know Spanish sufficiently well to do so, first.

Yes, but I thought I knew what the word meant, so I didn't check any dictionary.

@Perikles: I may be late for this, but "que cumplan alguno de los siguientes requisitos" would be "who will comply with any of the following requirements".
One of them will be enough for you to enjoy that advantage.
