The Kansas African Studies Center has substantial tuition stipends for interested educators to attend the seventh annual Summer African Language Institute (SALI) which will be conducted remotely this summer. Educators from K-12 schools, minority-serving institutions, and community college instructors are particularly encouraged to apply. The Institute runs annually from June to July with intensive language courses Monday through Thursday for four hours per day. Small class sizes allow for maximum individual attention from native speakers trained in language education in a fun and relaxed environment. Courses are taught through the Department of African and African-American Studies. Several stipends of $3,000 each for teachers will be awarded. Classes at the beginner level are 10 credits split between two summer sessions, while classes at the intermediate level are 6 credits split between two summer sessions.

Applicants must be teachers, education support professionals, or specialized instructional support personnel and must be current NEA members.
