Strengthening African universities is one of the most effective ways to contribute to the continent’s growth and continued excellence. The U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) program has helped retain and strengthen faculty members working in African institutions of higher education, and empowered them to contribute to international academic networks and set their own research agendas.

The UMAPS Program brings early career faculty from African universities to Ann Arbor, Michigan. Scholars are paired with a faculty collaborator during their stay and have full access to the University of Michigan’s (U-M) resources to further their work on a research project, an academic degree, publications, grant proposal, or other relevant activity. The program supports the development of the next generation of African scholars by integrating them into international academic networks, and promotes U-M’s international commitment to research and teaching collaborations across diverse disciplines, from engineering to literature to economics.

COVID-19-RELATED CHANGES: Please note that we have had to make some changes to the UMAPS application process for the academic year 2021/22:

UMAPS scholars accepted in the 2020/21 cohorts have been deferred to the 2021/22 academic year. As a consequence, there are only a limited number of additional slots available to join the Fall 2021 or Winter 2022 UMAPS cohorts.
