In February 2014, APSA awarded professional development grants to three Africa workshop alumni, totaling approximately $3,000. Recipients included Fatai Aremu, ’12, Edmond Mballa Elanga, ’13, and Henry Kam Kah, ’09. To date, APSA has awarded more than $40,000 in Alumni Networking Grants.
APSA’s Alumni Networking Grants are available primarily for Africa Workshops alumni. With support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, $45,000 is available each year to support alumni participation in professional development opportunities, facilitate networking potential, and encourage collaboration among scholars and academic institutions across Africa. Applications will be accepted on a rotating basis for three types of grants: professional development grants, workshop grants, and publication grants.
Application and program information can be found on the Africa Workshop website at http://community.apsanet.org/Africa/alumnigrants. Questions should be directed to Siadat Ilo at africaworkshops@apsanet.org.
