Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation Young African Scholars Program 2017/18
Deadline: December 15, 2017
Applications are ongoing for the Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation Young African Scholars Program 2017/2018. The Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation sponsors scholarly research on problems of violence, agression, and dominance. The foundation provides both research grants to established scholars and dissertation fellowships to graduate students during the dissertation-writing year. HFG does not support institutions, programs, or pure interventions.
Every two years the foundation hosts the Young African Scholars program. Ten scholars whose proposed projects are judged to be of high quality and closely relevant to the foundation’s interest in violence and aggression are selected to take part.
Harry Guggenheim established this foundation to support research on violence, aggression, and dominance because he was convinced that solid, thoughtful, scholarly and scientific research, experimentation, and analysis would in the end accomplish more than the usual solutions impelled by urgency rather than understanding.
