African Economic Research Consortium Awards are granted by African Economic Research Consortium (AERC).
AERC is a public not-for-profit
organization devoted to the advancement of economic policy research and training.
AERC's mission is
to strengthen local capacity for conducting independent, rigorous inquiry into the problems facing the
management of economies in sub-Saharan Africa.
Each year AERC offers a limited number of awards with a maximum value of US$15,000 towards
PhD thesis research and also provides a number of scholarships to aspiring students to do Master of
Arts.
To be eligible for consideration, the request must come from an African national intending to
pursue a career in economic management, research and/or teaching at an institution in sub-Saharan
Africa.
The PhD research awards have two deadlines per year: April 1 for the June award and November 1 for
