Benefits
In 2025, the CARTA program plans to offer up to 15 PhD fellowships and two additional fellowships reserved for staff members of the Somali National University (SNU), Somalia, who will be mentored by one of the CARTA partners, Makerere University, Uganda. The fellowships, which are tenable at the CARTA African universities, include the following benefits:
- The cost of the fellow’s participation in the advanced seminars;
- A modest monthly stipend; moderate support for research activities;
- A laptop loaded with relevant software;
- Funds to attend one international conference; and
- Support to participate in training programs of choice.
Note: The CARTA fellowships run for a maximum of four years. Fellowships will only cover tuition fees, medical insurance, and travel support for fellows registered at a partner institution different from their own.
