Applications are now open for the University of Michigan African Scholarship Program. The University of Michigan African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program offers a fully funded scholarship in the USA, providing individuals with a 5-month research residency. The program aims to enhance the development and excellence of the African continent by strengthening its universities. Faculty members from African higher education institutions have greatly benefited from the U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) program, which has helped solidify their positions, enabled them to lead their own research agendas, and integrated them into global academic networks.
This fully funded international scholarship aligns with the University of Michigan’s global commitment to research and teaching collaborations across various fields—from engineering to literature to economics. It also supports the educational development of the next generation of African scholars by connecting them to international academic networks. The UMAPS research scholarship invites early-career academics from African universities to participate. During their residency, scholars are paired with a faculty partner and gain full access to the University of Michigan’s resources, supporting their work on publications, grant proposals, research projects, academic degrees, and other initiatives.
The University of Michigan scholar program offers numerous benefits, including a 5-month research residency at the University of Michigan. Scholars work closely with a faculty member and have full access to the university’s resources. Accommodation is provided, featuring a private room and bath in a suite setting, and travel costs from the scholar's home country to Michigan are covered. Additionally, scholars receive a research allowance, a stipend for living expenses, and an office space for their work. This opportunity allows scholars to present their research to the University of Michigan community, making it a highly rewarding experience.
