The French Embassy in Haiti, the Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) and the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) are launching the Anténor Firmin doctoral mobility scholarships, in tribute to the author of the essay "Equality of human races".

This scholarship program aims to strengthen university research in Haiti. Support for scientific research is a priority for the three partners, who are joining forces around these scholarships intended for Haitian students wishing to pursue doctoral studies.
