FYI--forward to who is interested.


American Councils Southeast Europe Language Program

Application Deadline: Applications for fall 2006 and academic year
2006-2007 programs are due on January 15.
 
The American Councils Southeast Europe Language Program offers academic
year, semester and summer programs for independent research and language
study in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia,
Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro. Full and partial fellowships are
available for research and language training through American Councils
from the U.S. Department of State (Title VIII) grant support.  

Application Requirements:
Applicants must plan to study for at least one month in the region.
Study-trips for periods of four to nine months are particularly
encouraged. 
Open to students at the MA and Ph.D. level, as well as post-doctoral
scholars and faculty who have at least elementary language skills. All
applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Applicants
should explain how their plans for language-study support their overall
research goals. While students with a wide range of interests and
research goals have received Title VIII support in the past, all
applicants should specify how their studies will contribute to a body of
knowledge that enables U.S. policy makers to better understand the
region. 

Fellowships for Language Study typically provide: 
--Full tuition at a major university in Southeast Europe 
--International round trip airfare from the fellow's home city to
her/his host-city 
--A monthly living stipend 
--Housing stipends or direct payment for housing in university
dormitories 
--Health insurance of up to $50,000 per accident or illness
--Visa support as necessary 
--Graduate-level academic credit through Bryn Mawr College for programs
providing 7 weeks or more of full time instruction 
--Ongoing logistical support from American Councils offices throughout
the region
--Language programs are designed to maximize linguistic and cultural
immersion into Southeast European society. All academic programs
emphasize the development of practical speaking, listening, reading and
writing skills. Courses in literature and cultural studies may be
available depending on the student's language proficiency. All classes,
including area studies courses, are taught in the host-country language.


Applications for fall and academic year programs are due on January 15,
2006.
