Good morning,

The Embassy of the United States in Dar es Salaam has the pleasure to announce the 2015-2016 Fulbright Junior Staff Development Program and  invite applications from qualified candidates.  The Fulbright Junior Staff Development (JSD) Program is the largest Fulbright program in Africa and provides financial assistance for a maximum of two years of study toward a graduate degree in a U.S. university. It is designed primarily to strengthen African universities through higher degree training for faculty members. Applications are also accepted from prospective candidates in public and private educational and cultural institutions, independent research institutes, and professional institutions.

The JSD program is open to all qualified candidate but strongly encourages the inclusion of female candidates and prefers candidates who have not had extensive recent experience in the United States. Recent (within three years) recipients of Fulbright grants are not eligible to apply, and it should be emphasized that funding is for a maximum period of two years only. It is important to note that doctoral degree candidates will typically need to secure additional funding to complete their course of study and we now prioritize the selection of Fulbright Master's candidates over Ph.D. candidates. We also stress the importance of uploading and submitting all required documents online. Please try not to post any documentation.

Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be citizens of Tanzania or permanent residents qualified to hold a valid passport issued by Tanzania.
Applicants must have a record of outstanding academic achievement and preparation in their chosen field of study.
Applicants should either be candidates for an advanced degree in their current field or for a specialized non-degree program in a field for which they are well prepared. Applicants who wish to pursue study in a field other than their current field of study must demonstrate adequate background in that field.
Applicants must be affiliated with or committed to working at an academic institution or public or private institutions in Tanzania upon return, and should have the endorsement of their home institution.
Applicants should have a high motivation and a serious commitment to completing the program as scheduled and to returning home.
Applicants with no extensive or recent U.S. experience will be given preference.
Applicants must have a sufficiently high level of English proficiency to enable them to complete a full-time program of graduate study in the United States

The deadline for submitting applications is May 1. Please spread word to interested applicants.
