ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

CASA III

2004-2005 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.  CASA provides funding for CASA III  
fellows ranging 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 undertaken in Summer 2004, Fall 2004, or Spring 2005.   
The specific program of study for each applicant will be 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  
Guidelines (equivalent to at least three years of study at the college  
level).  An oral proficiency phone interview in Arabic will be  
conducted with each applicant to determine her/his level of  
proficiency.  Applicants must beU.S.citizens.  Non-U.S. citizens and  
permanent residents may apply to participate in this program on  
aPay-Your-Own Waybasis.

The CASA III fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition, and a  
maintenance allowance of the Egyptian equivalent of $1500 per month,  
plus an educational supplies allowance of up to $250 per month. A  
non-refundable program fee is required of each CASA III fellow once an  
award has been accepted.
