Five College African Scholars Program : Welcome!

Welcome!

The Five College African Scholars program is dedicated to supporting the research of individual scholars in Africa, strengthening partnerships among scholars in Africa and the United States, and enriching the study of Africa.

Located in the Pioneer Valley of Western Massachusetts, the Program draws on the resources of a consortium of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The five colleges are renowned for a 40-year history of cooperation and innovation in higher education, and have one of the largest concentrations of Africanist faculty in the United States.

Fellowships are awarded each year to African scholars for four-month residencies at one of the five colleges. Women and men throughout Africa, particularly those who have not had recent access to such opportunities, are encouraged to apply.

The Five College African Scholars Program is generously supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Smith College and Five Colleges, Incorporated and its member institutions.
