IAD Tuition Fellowship

IAD Tuition Fellowship is a one-year, non-renewable fellowship awarded on a competitive basis to graduate students from sub-Saharan Africa. It covers tuition and fees for one academic year at Cornell University but does not cover travel, living, or other study-related expenses. Applicants must first apply and be admitted to Cornell in their field of study, and should have a statement indicating interest in funding from the Institute for African Development; nominations are made by the Director of Graduate Study for review.

Tuition and fees for one academic year

Citizens of sub-Saharan African countries accepted to Cornell for graduate study in any field are eligible; Africans with permanent residency or citizenship outside Africa are not eligible.

Applicants must apply to Cornell for graduate study and be nominated by the Director of Graduate Study for consideration by the Institute for African Development.
