ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)


CASA III
2009-2010 Refresher Course for Professors in Humanities and Social  
Sciences

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA), offers fellowships for  
professors of the humanities and social sciences whose specialties  
focus on any aspect of the Arab World/Middle East.  The CASA III  
fellowships are funded by the Fulbright Binational Committee in Egypt  
and the US Department of Education and are intended for professors who  
are interested in further advancing their proficiency in Arabic and  
for those who wish to undertake research in Arabic materials under the  
supervision of a specialist.

The program is designed to offer flexibility in terms of the timeframe  
of the individual's program.  CASA provides funding for CASA III  
fellows ranging from two to four months, with each CASA III fellow  
choosing the months in which they wish to participate (these months  
need to be compatible with the AUC academic calendar).  The CASA III  
program can be undertaken in Summer 2009, Fall 2009, or Spring 2010.   
The specific program of study for each applicant will be designed by  
the applicant and the CASA Executive Director.

Applicants must have a level of competence in Arabic of Advanced or  
above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (equivalent to at  
least three years of study at the college level).  An oral proficiency  
phone interview in Arabic will be conducted with each applicant to  
determine her/his level of proficiency.  Applicants must be U.S.  
citizens.  Non-U.S. citizens and permanent residents may apply to  
participate in this program on a Pay-Your-Own Way basis.

The CASA III fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition, and  
a maintenance allowance of the Egyptian equivalent of approximately  
$1,250 per month, plus an educational supplies allowance. A non- 
refundable program fee is required of each CASA III fellow once an  
award has been accepted.  (See website for details on programs fees)
