FELLOWSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

CASA II

2008-2009 Program for Post-CASA Language Study and Arabic-Based Research

The CASA II program aims to provide further opportunities for CASA
fellows who have completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past
five years to continue to enhance their language skills and advance
their Arabic-based research in Egypt.

The CASA II program offers the opportunity to study for one or two
semesters (Fall or Spring or both) at the American University in Cairo.
The program is meant to be flexible so as to cater to the individual
linguistic and research needs of each CASA II fellow.  Individual
academic programs for each CASA fellow will be designed in close
consultation between the fellow and the CASA Executive Director in
Cairo.

Each CASA II fellow is expected to enroll in three tutorials per
semester.  These tutorials can be in any of the language skills or in
the fellow's own field of specialization.  In addition, CASA II fellows
are welcome to enroll in any of the regular CASA classes that are
offered during the fall and spring semesters as part of their CASA II
program.  CASA II fellows are also expected to participate in and
contribute to the full range of activities of the CASA program.

Requirements:

To qualify for a CASA II fellowship, the successful applicant must have
completed the CASA Full-Year program within the past five years and must
be enrolled in a graduate program in Arabic/Middle Eastern Studies.
Former CASA fellows who graduated more than five years ago may apply for
a CASA II fellowship but they must take the CASA Entrance Exam to assess
their current level of proficiency in Arabic.

Each applicant must complete the CASA II application form and provide
all supporting documents.

Each applicant is expected to pay a non-refundable program fee of $825
per semester ($1,100 per semester for fellows from non CASA Consortium
schools).

Similar to other CASA programs, applicants to CASA II have the option of
applying on a Pay-Your-Own-Way basis if they have other sources of
funding.

Benefits:

A CASA II fellowship award covers tuition for one or two semesters based
on the fellow's choice, round trip airfare and a monthly stipend of
3,000 Egyptian pounds.
