Grants generally range from $500-$2,000 and typically will not exceed $2,500. Grants will be reviewed by the MEST Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are encouraged to think creatively about the activities that the grants could potentially fund. Academic projects related to any aspect of the Middle East or Middle Eastern Studies are eligible. Students from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of what the grant can be used for include, but are not limited to: participation in an archaeological expedition in a Middle Eastern country; historical research in archives in the US or abroad; participation in a biological or geological field project in the Middle East; conducting a cultural anthropological project in a Middle Eastern culture in the US or abroad; working with an NGO to improve social, economic, or ecological conditions in the Middle East; a language study program of any Middle Eastern language either abroad or in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Past grants included funding for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Studying Regional Languages (for example Arabic Jordan, Egypt, or Oman, studying Turkish in Turkey)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anthropological work and language study in the UAE<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>International business school in Dubai<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Archaeological fieldwork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ncusar.org\/\">National Council on US-Arab Relations<\/a> has a list of internships and programs that students might consider for their grant applications. There are many institutions offering study of Middle Eastern Languages abroad or in the US. Students might also check the programs at the King Fahd Center at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. All of the above are merely examples; any study program related to the Middle East will be considered. Students are encouraged to seek out and identify these programs first and then to apply for funding with a specific study plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who submit their proposals by the deadline will be notified about the status of their applications within three weeks of the deadline.
