Dear All,

Today is Martin Luther King Day!
On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, observed annually on the third Monday of January, close to Dr. King's birthday, January 15, we honor his enduring legacy. Dr. King championed nonviolence as a potent instrument against injustice, inequality, and tyranny, and shaped the trajectory of the civil rights movement across the globe. The theme for this year, “Shifting the Cultural Climate through the Study and Practice of Kingian Nonviolence,” encapsulates the essence of Dr. King's teachings.
As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we, at the Association for Progressive African Youth (AJAP-NIGERIA), recognize the pivotal role that nonviolence plays in achieving sustainable change. By fostering an understanding of nonviolent principles and encouraging their application in addressing social issues, AJAP-NIGERIA aims to contribute to a cultural shift that aligns with the vision of Dr. King. Let us unite in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr., embracing the transformative power of nonviolence.
Find attached AJAP-NIGERIA Martin Luther King Day statement. Please download and share on various social media platforms using the hashtag and tag Facebook, Twitter and Instagram handles.
Together, we can build a world where justice, equality, and compassion prevail!
Have a peaceful Martin Luther King Day!

Fulbright Foreign Student Program 2025 (Masters & Ph.D.) Scholarships for study in the United States (Fully Funded)

Application Deadline: Varying by Country bit.ly/3S7zrJx

The Fulbright Foreign Student Program is the largest Fulbright program with Africa and provides financial assistance for a maximum of two years of study toward a graduate degree in a U.S. university or for participation in a non-degree research or nonacademic professional program. 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 Fulbright Foreign Student Program is open to any 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.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree at the time of program start date

Strong academic record

English proficiency and/ or ability to attend a Long-Term English (LTE) Program in the United States prior to the study program.

Additional eligibility requirements differ by country of citizenship.
