Deadline: March 1, 2019
Applications are open for the NYU Gallatin and NYU Africa House Summer Fellowship 2019. The Fellowship is awarded to a Gallatin student whose concentration would benefit from travel to and research on Africa in Summer 2019.
Specific research areas are open, but preference will be given to ones that focus on economics, development, or travel and tourism, including cultural tourism.

In the Spring semester, the student will be given the opportunity to present her or his findings at a forum sponsored by Gallatin and Africa House.
