CASA III - Refresher Course for Professors

2010-2011 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 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.

Applicants must have a level of competence in Arabic of Advanced or above according to the ACTFL Proficiency Guidlines (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 of approximately $1250 per month, plus an educational supplies allowance.

Application deadline for 2010-2011 programs is January 8, 2010
