Yale directs and participates in a number of summer study abroad programs for instruction in African languages. In Africa, students have the opportunity to spend the summer in Kenya or Tanzania studying Swahili. In South Africa they study Zulu. Other languages are available through other university programs which Yale students are free to take part in.
In America, students can attend the Summer Cooperative African Languages Institute (SCALI), which offers a variety of African language courses at different levels. Title VI universities (such as Yale, MSU, UCLA, Wisconsin, etc.) share responsibility for this program.
In addition to the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships which cover full tuition and living expenses for one academic-year, students are eligible for summer FLAS fellowships which cover summer program expenses.
