Indiana University provides an array of grants and fellowships for its graduate students. In addition to departmental awards, graduate students in African Studies may apply for grants in support of study and/or research in an African country from the Office of the Vice President for International Affairs. We also offer a limited number of awards that are announced via the African Studies listserv.
