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.
