CASA III

2065-2007 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 funded by the Fulbright Binational Committee in Egypt  
and the US Department of Education and 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 2006, Fall 2006, or  
Spring 2007.  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 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 between $1250 and  
$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.
