Graduate Funding Opportunities
One of the primary sources of graduate student funding through the Center is the FLAS fellowship, which are made possible by the Center's Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education. In addition, generous contributions from faculty and alumni have made it possible for the Center to offer summer pre-dissertation research grants in Africa for graduate students. The Center is also able to provide a number of travel awards to support students attending academic conferences and workshops.
