Middle Eastern Studies Program Summer Grants
Syracuse University Undergraduate Students
As part of its Undergraduate International Studies and Foreign Language Program (UISFL) grant, the Middle Eastern Studies (MES) Program will award 2 or 3 grants ($900 to $1,300 each) to Syracuse University undergraduate students who wish to travel to the Middle East for study abroad, language training or internships during summer 2011. There will be a preference for students pursuing the major or minor in MES.
The proposals will be evaluated on the basis of i) originality and significance of the proposed research, ii) organization and clarity of the proposal, iii) appropriateness and feasibility of the research plan in relation to the student’s background and qualifications, and iv) cost effectiveness.
You can either e-mail your 1-2 page proposal to mes@maxwell.syr.edu or send one hard copy to Middle Eastern Studies Program, 332 Eggers Hall, Syracuse University. Submission deadline is March 11. Those interested in seeing a list of potential internship
places should visit http://middle-eastern-studies.syr.edu/Internships.htm.
Please note that Maxwell doctoral students may wish to apply for the Goekjian summer grants offered through the Moynihan Institute.
