ACAE

The American Council on African Education was established by Nwafor Orizu in 1945 which obtained numerous tuition scholarships from American sources for the benefit of African students.[1] Amongst its important members are Alain LeRoy Locke, Oric Bates,[2] Mary McLeod Bethune,[3] Harry Emerson Fosdick[4] and Constance Agatha Cummings.[5] They were instrumental in offering scholarships to Nigerian students studying in the United States.[6] Its membership consisted of both black and white academics, journalists and philanthropists.[7]
