Giving to Africology
When you study Africology, you study the world!
We are always happy to hear from alumni. Please let us know how you are doing and how you are using your Africology degree. Alumni can add or update their information by sending an email to Eve Hubbart, Program Associate, at hubbart@uwm.edu.
Your gift to Africology makes a real and lasting impact! We are grateful for contributions at any level. You may choose to support Africology generally, or to direct your support toward a specific scholarship, including:
- Mildred Marie Foster Fellowship for undergraduates and/or graduate students in Africology.
- Department of Africology Undergraduate Scholarship for newly declared Africology majors.
- The George W. and Winston A. Van Horne Prize. Awarded annually for the most outstanding graduate student comprehensive exam.
- Llyod A. Barbee Essay Prize.
