EAST AFRICAN COMMUNITY SECRETARIAT
Scholarship
Opportunities for EAC Undergraduate Students 2013
4 June to 13 July 2013, Full time and Residence in Arusha
East African Community (EAC) in cooperation with Arcadia University in
the USA is pleased to announce scholarship opportunities for undergraduate
students from EAC Countries interested in Human Rights and Development in
Africa. This program will give the students a chance to
learn more about the region and the opportunity to share
experiences with their counterparts from Arcadia University. The result of the
exchange program is an exceptional exposure to the EAC integration process,
best learning practices and a widened knowledge of different cultures.
The
Undergraduate Human Rights Program will be held at the EAC Nyerere Centre for
Peace Research in Arusha, Tanzania from 5 June to 14 July 2012. A single course on human rights and
capacity-building in East Africa will be taught. The course structure will
consist of class work, guest speakers and independent research. In addition, the
program will include visits to various institutions in Arusha especially the
international and regional organizations.
To join the
program, Students must (1) have completed at least two successful years at the
university with first class or upper second grades; (2) have good academic
standing and not on disciplinary probation; and (3) have a good level of
English as the program will be delivered in English exclusively. (4) In
addition, each applicant is required to submit a brief essay on any human
rights issue in his country (not more than 500 words). This program would also
be perfect for those who have recently graduated in any of the relevant
disciplines with an interest in human rights and development. Scholarship awards will only cover program
related expenses and tuition fees. However
some of the recipients who are in need could get a supplemental
scholarship that will cater for their accommodation and food for the duration
of their stay in Arusha.
Interested East
Africans should immediately submit their applications, including the brief
essay mentioned above, curriculum vitae, all University transcripts, a
personalized letter of recommendation and an application letter to the EAC
Nyerere Centre for Peace Research. Please send your application to the
following email address: adjovir@arcadia.edu with copy to BKaboha@eachq.org. Applications should reach us not later than 30 April
2013 at 4:00 pm, Arusha time.
