Yale students have a number of opportunities to study in Africa by way of summer and academic year funding for language study and various research projects.
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 studying Zulu; or in Nigeria
studying Yoruba. Other languages are also available through
other university programs in which Yale students are free
to take part.
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.
