WARC Library Fellowship
Interested in Africa? Considering a career as a Librarian? The WARC Library Fellowship program may be a good opportunity for you. The WARC Library Fellowship (open to U.S. citizens) is designed to provide experience in West Africa for practicing librarians and for the next generation of Africana librarians, and to assist in capacity building at the library of the West African Research Center (WARC) in Dakar, Senegal.

WARA Residency Fellowship
In the interest of enhancing transatlantic exchange and collaboration, the West African Research Association offers Residencies for WARA member institutions to host a West African Scholar on their campus. Each residency will last 4-8 weeks and will provide the visiting scholar with opportunities for library research, guest lecturing, and/or collaborative work with American colleagues.

This competition is open to U.S. citizens who are currently enrolled in graduate programs at institutions of higher education in the United States.
