Up to $3,000 grants toward research projects or internships in or on Africa. ASC is committed to supporting students at all levels and in all fields, regardless of citizenship, to undertake research, internships, or other training activities in or on Africa. Projects may be for any length of time, with a project start date between May 1 in the calendar year the application is submitted and April 30 of the following year. In light of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, travel to the continent may or may not be feasible. We welcome alternative approaches such as virtual internships and allow funds to be used for hiring local research assistants, scanning of archival materials, data/plans for internet-based or app-based research, etc.
Applicants for research grants may be at preliminary or more advanced stages of their research; applicants for internships should identify a specific internship venue (governmental agency, business, or non-governmental institution in the region or engaged in Africa-focused work). Grants will not be considered for students graduating in the current Winter Term. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously received ASC Summer Research and Internship funding.
Deadline: The application deadline is 11:59 pm on February 15.
Applications are to be submitted using the II Student Fellowships (IISF) common application. Applicants are encouraged to visit the II Student Fellowships Resource Page prior to beginning the application process.

Please note that additional travel restrictions are in place because of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

A written project report will be required at the conclusion of the grant.
