2006 Summer and 2006-2007 Full Year Programs

The Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA) is pleased to announce that  
it will offer a number of fellowships for advanced Arabic language  
study at the American University in Cairo for the 2006-2007 academic  
year.

Two types of CASA fellowships are available:

1)      Summer-Only Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 ? July 31, 2006)
These fellowships allow students to participate in an intensive seven- 
week summer language and culture program that includes 10 weekly  
hours of Egyptian Colloquial Arabic and 8 hours of Modern Standard  
Arabic plus a weekly tour in Arabic.

2)      Full-Year Fellowships: (June 7, 2006 ? May 31, 2007)
These fellowships provide intensive language and culture training in  
both Egyptian Colloquial and Modern Standard Arabic (reading,  
listening and writing) for three semesters (summer, fall and spring)  
and allow students in the spring semester to take courses in Arabic  
in their respective areas of specialization.

In 2005-2006, CASA offered 6 Summer-Only Fellowships and 32 Full-Year  
fellowships and we expect to offer a slightly fewer number in 2006-2007.

Successful applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents;  
enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate program or in between their  
undergraduate and graduate study; committed to a career in Middle  
Eastern Studies; have had a minimum of two to three years of college- 
level Arabic language study, and pass the CASA Selection exam which  
will be administered to all applicants at a school in their locality  
on Friday, February 3, 2006.  Please note that non-U.S. citizens are  
also welcome to apply to CASA, and if accepted, may participate on a  
Pay-Your-Own-Way basis.

Those interested in applying to CASA may also wish to apply for a  
Fulbright fellowship that would provide them with funding to  
participate in CASA. A Fulbright fellowship would enable the student  
to participate in CASA and provide a higher level of funding.  
Fulbright fellowships have October deadlines; thus students must  
submit their Fulbright fellowships well before they submit the CASA  
application.

The CASA fellowship award covers round-trip airfare, tuition and a  
maintenance allowance of 2,100 Egyptian pounds per month.  A non- 
refundable program fee is required of each CASA fellow once an award  
has been accepted.

application forms, please visit the CASA web site at:

*Application deadline for 2006-2007 programs is January 6, 2006*
