The application deadline (December 31) is fast approaching for an excellent
opportunity for funded study abroad in Cairo.  Applicants are not required
to be currently enrolled as students.  If you know of present or former
students who fit the bill (Business, International Law, International
Relations, Development, Economics...), you may want to draw their attention
to this opportunity.
