Amadou Diallo Scholars

The second is a program of academic research in the sciences and humanities. The rapid pace of globalization is daily bringing people and nations around the world into ever-closer contact with one another. The Foundation is committed to the development of better understanding between nations, cultures, and people and seeks to achieve this ambitious goal by supporting scholars who are committed to do research, develop programs, or analyze policies that will promote global harmony and greater understanding between people of different races, ethnicities, and cultures. Toward this end, the Foundation will commit to raising funds to support the work of five Amadou Diallo Scholars each year. Scholars each year. Scholars may be undergraduate or graduate students, or even college and/or university faculty members. As with the Amadou Diallo Scholarships, applicants from both African and the United States will be encouraged to apply.

Awards will be based on the annual competition in which prospective Scholars will submit proposals describing the research and/or projects that they will undertake with modest funding from the Foundation.

Proposals will be assessed based on the like contribution that proposed projects would make towards achieving the goals and objectives of the Foundation. It is our expectation that with each passing years of its operation, the Scholars will grow in number. Eventually, we expect that they will constitute an important network of researchers, practitioners, and policy makers whose collective impact will contribute hugely to our understanding of how to build and maintain healthy, safe, and productive communities.
