ANNOUNCEMENT

CENTER FOR ARABIC STUDY ABROAD (CASA)

CASA II

2010-2011 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 3,500 Egyptian pounds.
