ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

2004 Summer and 2004-2005 Full Year Programs

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that  
it will offer a number of fellowships for advanced Arabic language  
study at theAmericanUniversityinCairofor the 2004-2005 academic year.  

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1)     Summer-Only Fellowships:(June 4, 2004–July 22, 2004)

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 4, 2004–May 31, 2005)

These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in  
both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading, listening  
and writing) 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.

In 2003-2004, CASA offered 8 Summer-Only Fellowships and 19 Full-Year  
fellowships.

Successful applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents;  
enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or in between their  
undergraduate and graduate study; committed to a career in Middle  
Eastern Studies; have had a minimum of two to three 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 6, 2004.  Please note that non-U.S.  
citizens are also welcome to apply to CASA, and if accepted, may  
participate on a Pay-Your-Own-Waybasis.

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.  

The CASA fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition and a  
maintenance allowance of 1800 Egyptian pounds per month.  A  
non-refundable program fee is required of each CASA fellow once an  
award has been accepted.
