Subject:Scholarships for Arabic Study query

Greetings all,

I recently read an article in the Washington Post (online 
version:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-
dyn/articles/A18134-2002May27.html) and it brings to light a lot of 
interesting facts about the study of Arabic within the United States. 
The one fact that really sticks with me after reading through it was 
from one of the bar charts, there are nearly five times as many students 
studying Latin (26,145) as study Arabic (5,505)…

After talking with some of my colleagues I really got to wondering about 
scholarships for studying Arabic within the US. Are there any such 
things? I remember very vaguely someone going off to the University of 
Washington on some sort of scholarship, but that was in 1990.

As always, thanks for your help!
