The Civil Society Scholar Awards (CSSA) support doctoral students and
university faculty to undertake academic projects that will enrich
socially-engaged research and critical scholarship in their home country
or region.
Civil Society Scholars are selected on the basis of their outstanding
academic record as well as their active engagement with local
communities, their potential to champion open society values in their
home regions, and their ability strengthen critical scholarship and
academic networks within their fields. Proposals may include
international travel, but this is no longer required.
