ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)



2010 Summer and 2010-2011 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 the American University in Cairo and Damascus University for  
the 2010-2011 academic year.

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1)	Summer-Only Fellowships: (Cairo only: June 4, 2010-July 26, 2010)
These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive seven- 
week summer language and culture program that includes 10 weekly hours  
of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 8 hours of Modern Standard Arabic  
plus a weekly tour in Arabic.

2)	Full-Year Fellowships: (Cairo: June 4, 2010-May 21, 2011; Damascus:  
June 14, 2010-May 20, 2011)
These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in  
Egyptian Colloquial or Syrian 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 2009-2010, CASA offered 5 Summer-Only Fellowships, 25 Full-Year  
fellowships in Cairo, and 14 Full-Year fellowships in Damascus, and we  
expect to offer similar numbers in 2010-2011.

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 5, 2010.  Please note that non-U.S. citizens are  
also welcome to apply to CASA, and if accepted, may participate on a  
Pay-Your-Own-Way basis.

The CASA fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition and a  
maintenance allowance of approximately $500 per month.  A non- 
refundable program fee is required of each CASA fellow once an award  
has been accepted. (See website for details on program fees)
