Subject:Scholarships response

While Portland State University (PSU) (http://www.pdx.edu) does not have
an Arabic degree program, they do offer courses in Arabic regularly to
the
3rd year level, with occasional 400 level courses.  They have a Middle
East studies program that requires 3 years of language study.  To that
end, there are 2 scholarships listed in their current bulletin:

Noury Al-Khaledy Scholarship in Arabic Studies. Established in 1995 in
rec-ognition of the contributions of the late Pro-fessor Noury Al-Khaledy
who led the Arabic Language instructional program at PSU for over two
decades. Open to all full-time PSU students of all majors who have
formally studied Arabic in an accredited college for at least two years;
had an outstanding perfor-mance in previous Arabic studies; 3.40 GPA or
higher; and a commitment to successfully complete third-year Arabic at
PSU. School performance and financial need are a major consideration.
(Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, 393 Neuberger Hall,
503-725-3522.)

Patricia and Gary Leiser Scholarship in Middle Eastern Languages. Annual
award of $500 to an undergraduate engaged in the study of Arabic,
Turkish,
or Persian language at Portland State University. Appli-cants must be
enrolled in a course in one of the above languages during the year for
which the scholarship is granted, complete the course with a passing
grade, and have an overall grade point average of at least 3.25.
Applicants must also demonstrate serious interest in the Middle East by
taking courses on the region, and be a U.S. citizen. (Middle East Studies
Center, 320 East Hall, 503-725-4074).
