------------------------------------- Forwarded message from African Scholars Program From: African Scholars Program To: African Scholars Program Subject: Call for Applications - Five College African Scholars Program Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 12:08:09 -0500 FIVE COLLEGE AFRICAN SCHOLARS PROGRAM, USA CALL FOR APPLICATIONS Deadline: May 15, 2003 www.fivecolleges.edu/asp The Five College African Scholars Program (USA) announces four and one-half month residency fellowships from January to May 2004 and August to December 2004. Junior and mid-level scholars, who are citizens of an African nation and who teach in African universities, are eligible to apply. Proposals are invited for writing projects, based on the applicant's current research, which can be completed and prepared for publication during the residency. Projects may be in any discipline or interdisciplinary. They should be relevant to the study of Africa in the social sciences or the humanities and demonstrate a benefit to the scholar's home university. Because the program does not provide laboratory facilities, scientific proposals will be considered only if they are at the stage of reviewing data and scholarly literature in order to publish results. Each fellow will be hosted by a faculty member at one of the Five College institutions - Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College or University of Massachusetts Amherst. Six fellowships will be awarded in 2004 and will include a $3,000 stipend for each month in residence, airfare, laptop computer, housing, health insurance, access to libraries, office, and a modest research allowance. Complete information and application forms are in English and French at http://www.fivecolleges.edu/asp If you would like materials sent to you by mail, please email asp@fivecolleges.edu. Applications must be received by the deadline: May 15, 2003. The program is generously supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Smith College, and Five Colleges, Inc. and its member institutions.
