                                     CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD
(CASA)


CASA III
                             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 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.  Beginning in 2003, CASA will provide funding
for
CASA III fellows that ranges 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 done in Summer 2003, Fall 2003, or Spring
2004.
The specific program of study for each applicant is designed by the
applicant and the CASA Executive Director.

Applicants must have a level of competence in Arabic of
Intermediate-High or
above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Scale (equivalent to at least
three
years of study at the college level) and 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 $1500 per month. A
non-refundable program fee ($1,000 for professors in CASA Consortium
schools
and $1,500 for non-Consortium schools) is required of each CASA III
fellow
once an award has been accepted.
