Visiting Scholar Program

The Center for African Studies accepts selected non-stipendiary visiting scholars each year from collaborating institutions, who come to collaborate on research with Harvard faculty. In addition, the Center in collaboration with the Committee on General Scholarships is able to host semester-long Visiting Scholars from Africa. During their time here, they access the university’s library resources, engage in research, and partner with faculty on various projects.
