Final report of the African-American Institute (AAI) on Phase III (4/85-9/97) of the African Graduate Fellowship Program (AFGRAD). Under AFGRAD III, 845 awards were made -- 143 for undergraduate degrees, 617 for graduate fellowships, and 85 for non-degree postgraduate programs. Major accomplishments were as follows: (1) Tuition scholarships were provided by U.S. universities for all AFGRAD III graduate students. (2) Twenty-five percent of the AFGRAD III awards were made to women. (3) Dissertation research in Africa was undertaken by more than half (93 of 184) of the Ph.D. candidates. (4) Over 92% (780 of 845) of the AFGRAD III students successfully completed their programs. (5) Despite economic and political instability in many African countries, the return to home country rate for AFGRAD III was 81.4% overall, with 20 countries achieving return rates over 90%.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
