The African Fellow Awards
Fellowships are offered to individual scholars for a period of two years. The African Fellow Awards include an in-person methods workshop on the African continent, fieldwork research grants of $10,000 each, mentoring from senior African and Africanist scholars, sponsorship at an international conference to present research findings, and editorial and publication assistance through a writing workshop geared to support and prepare scholars to write for and submit to international peer-reviewed journals and other outlets for their research.
Applicants must be PhD candidates at an African university, and under the age of 45. Our areas of focus include war, crime, terrorism, family and intimate-partner relationships, climate instability and natural resource competition, religious, racial and ethnic conflict, political extremism, and nationalism.
