Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Every year U.S. scholars in a wide variety of academic disciplines teach and conduct research at educational institutions and non-profit organizations across Sub-Saharan Africa. Typically, Fulbright Scholars not only accomplish their grant-specific goals, they also build lasting relationships that serve as the foundation for on-going projects and other interactions on the personal and the institution level.

Fulbright Scholars have:

Solidified affiliations between home and host institutions in the U.S. and Africa
Created non-profit organizations with African colleagues
Trained and developed curriculum during and beyond the grant term
Developed U.S. student study abroad and exchange opportunities in Africa
Mentored African students to apply for opportunities in the U.S.

The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program and is supported by the people of the United States and partner countries around the world.
