      Applications are accepted nationwide from juniors, seniors, and graduate students in United States universities who have previously studied at least four semesters of Kiswahili or the equivalent and are also interested in East African area studies.

      Students who are actively enrolled in their final semester or quarters of their second year of study of the language will also be considered.

      Applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents.
