The Office of Public Affairs at the American Embassy Dar es Salaam accepts applications for fellowship programs for graduate study in the United States from Tanzanians. Candidates must have minimum two to five years' working experience with an institution and the endorsement of that institution to apply for the program so they will have a job upon their return. In addition, the whole process - from initial application to outbound travel if selected, takes one year. In addition, we have a program for recently graduated English teachers to intern/teach at U.S. universities for an academic year. All our programs require applicants have a minimum of a Bachelor's degree to be eligible. Please see the embassy website for details on information sessions for these programs.
