[Moderator's note: These two announcements came as attachments.
Arabic-L has a policy of not sending out attachments, so I have
compied the messages into the body of the e-mail.  The attachments
would be handy, however, for printing and posting at your university,
so if you would like them as MSWord attachments, please contact Mr.
Wood at the address above, and he will send them to you in that
format.  Thanks. Dil]

ANNOUNCEMENT
CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

2002 Summer and Full-Year Programs

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that
it will offer a limited number of fellowships for advanced Arabic
language study at the American University in Cairo for the 2002-2003
academic year.  .

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1) Summer-only fellowships: (June 9-July 25, 2002)
These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive
seven-week summer language and culture program that includes 14
weekly hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 6 hours of Modern
Standard Arabic.

2) Full-Year fellowships: (June 9, 2001-2-June 1, 2003)
These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in
both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic for three
semesters (summer, fall and spring) and allow students in the spring
semester to take courses in Arabic in their respective areas of
specialization.

Successful applicants must be US citizens or Permanent Residents,
enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program and committed to a
career in Middle Eastern Studies, have had a minimum of two years of
college-level Arabic language study, and pass the CASA Selection exam
which will be administered to all applicants at a school in their
locality on Friday, February 2, 2002.  Please note that non-US
citizens and Permanent Residents are also welcome to apply to CASA,
and if accepted, may participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis.

Those interested in applying to CASA may also wish to apply for a
Fulbright fellowship that would provide them with funding to
participate in CASA. A Fulbright fellowship would enable the student
to participate in CASA and provide a higher level of funding.
Fulbright fellowships have October deadlines; thus students must
submit their Fulbright fellowships well before they submit the CASA
application.

application forms, please visit the CASA web site at

*Application deadline for 2002-2003 is January 8, 2002*
