About ACLS African Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship

This extraordinary competition will extend for one year the fellowship program that began in 2008-09 and that had been scheduled to conclude in 2020-21.  Funds for the extension became available due to the cancelation of in-person activities during the Covid pandemic. The 2021-22 AHP competition will replicate previous ones in almost every respect.  The eligibility criteria remain the same – awards will go to African scholars, living and working on the continent, pursuing basic research in the humanities, willing to take two semesters to leave from all other employment to devote full energy to the project proposed.  Applications will be received through the ACLS Online Fellowship and Grant (OFA) Administration system, as they have been in previous years.
