FELLOWSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

CASA III Program

2008-2009 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 2008, Fall 2008, or Spring 2009.  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 Advanced or
above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines (equivalent to at
least three years of study at the college level).  An oral 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 of approximately $1250
per month, plus an educational supplies allowance. A non-refundable
program fee is required of each CASA III fellow once an award has been
accepted.  (See website for details on programs fees)
