Ezera Research Fellowships for African PhD Students

Critères d'éligibilité

African PhD students conducting research in fields aligned with the Ezera Foundation's priorities.

Présentation du programme

**An endowment** has been established in memory of Emeka Kalu Ezera to support graduate students from African countries south of the Sahara at the University of California at Berkeley. The funds from the endowment are assigned to the Center for African Studies to aid student scholars at the graduate level concentrating in African Studies. Funds may be requested for maintenance, travel, or research costs, as appropriate to enhance pre-dissertation and dissertation research on Africa. Ezera funds may be used to supplement, but not substitute for, other grants. Students are encouraged to apply to other sources, including the [Rocca grant](http://africa.berkeley.edu/fellowships/Rocca.php). **Application deadline:** April 11, 2022 ### Table of contents - [Benefits of the Ezera Research Fellowship](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/ezera-research-fellowships-for-african-phd-students/#h-benefits-of-the-ezera-research-fellowship) - [Eligibility Criteria for African PhD Students](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/ezera-research-fellowships-for-african-phd-students/#h-eligibility-criteria-for-african-phd-students) - [How to Apply](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/ezera-research-fellowships-for-african-phd-students/#h-how-to-apply) * * * Stay in the loop!

In making awards, the Center adheres to the cap on stipends set by the Graduate Division, which in 2021 is $40,000 – combined for all fellowships awarded. For administrative purposes, the Ezera competition is combined with the **[Rocca Fellowship](https://africa.berkeley.edu/rocca-dissertation-research)** competition. Ezera recipients may also receive funds from the Rocca endowment. Only one application is necessary. If you are applying for the Emeka Kalu Ezera fellowship, indicate which African country you are from in the appropriate space on the application. Read [The Art of Writing Proposals](http://www.ssrc.org/publications/view/7A9CB4F4-815F-DE11-BD80-001CC477EC70/) (Pzreworski & Saloman) for tips on your application. ## Eligibility Criteria for African PhD Students The Ezera Fellowship gives priority to graduate students from West Africa who show exceptional promise of advancing scholarship in African Studies in the social sciences, humanities, and public policy and who demonstrate strong leadership potential. Students from other African regions are eligible and are encouraged to apply. Students must have been accepted for admission at the University of California at Berkeley when they apply and must be enrolled before funds may be dispersed to them. The fellowship is not available to students who are permanent residents or citizens of the United States. A total of no more than two years of support will be provided to a recipient of this fellowship; applications for the second year of support will be considered de novo along with other applications for that year.
