Scholars working or studying abroad are expressly welcome, making qualified Ugandan applicants eligible. Candidates should have completed or be near completion of an advanced degree such as a PhD, JSD or DPhil and pursue work engaging with the intellectual or social history of Islam, Islamic legal and political theory or law in contemporary Muslim societies.
The Kamel Center fellowships bring junior scholars to Yale Law School to advance research relating to Islamic law and civilization. Fellows participate in the intellectual activities of the Center, Yale Law School and the wider university.
Benefits
The one-year fellowship provides a stipend of USD 54,000 to USD 70,000 depending on education and experience. Some relocation support is available for fellows moving to New Haven from abroad. Offers to non-U.S. citizens are contingent on the ability to obtain the necessary U.S. immigration status.
Requirements
Applicants must submit a statement of interest of no more than 1,000 words describing relevant experience, interest in the Kamel Center and proposed research, a current CV, relevant law or graduate-school transcripts and two recommendation letters sent directly by referees. Non-native English speakers must provide evidence such as a recent TOEFL score above 100 or an advanced degree from an English-speaking university.
How to apply
Prepare the required statement, CV, transcripts and English evidence and arrange for two referees to send recommendations directly to the Kamel Center. Submit the applicant materials according to Yale\'s instructions between 2026-11-01 and 2026-11-30.
Explore opportunities from Uganda and abroad. Location describes where an opportunity is based; check the official eligibility rules to confirm whether Ugandan, African or other international applicants can apply.
Compare undergraduate, master's and PhD awards by eligible nationality, subject and funding coverage. A tuition waiver does not necessarily cover living costs, insurance or travel. For medical study, confirm the exact degree and whether clinical training is included. High school awards have different age and admission requirements from university scholarships.
For US universities offering full scholarships, check the university's international admissions and financial aid pages. Confirm whether admission and funding require separate applications, and whether support is renewable each year.
For internships in Europe or elsewhere, check nationality and enrolment requirements, the stipend, accommodation and travel coverage. Paid does not necessarily mean fully funded. Remote internships may still restrict the countries where participants can work. To intern abroad without programme fees, compare direct employer applications and check which costs you must pay yourself.
For summer placements, verify the start date and application year in the official call. Search the listings for a provider or subject, such as Expedia, EU delegation traineeships or agriculture in Germany, and confirm availability with that organisation.
Check the posting date, closing date, duty station and required experience. For jobs with no experience, look for an explicit entry-level or graduate requirement; an urgent vacancy may still require experience. Verify American Embassy vacancies through the embassy's official recruitment service and New Vision vacancies against the original employer notice.
Use the intake and deadline in each listing when comparing 2026 and 2027 opportunities. A 2022 notice is historical unless the provider has published a new call. Before applying to Yale Young African Scholars or an opportunity described as a UNICEF scholarship, verify the programme name, funding and current eligibility directly with the organisation. A search phrase alone does not confirm an available award.
