The UALR Middle Eastern Studies Program is inviting students and faculty to apply for Middle Eastern Studies grants to support their activities and scholarships.

The grants will pay up to $3,000 and will be reviewed on a competitive basis by the Middle Eastern Studies Committee. Part-time adjunct faculty at UALR may apply for small grants up to $500. Awarded grants must be used within the 2010 calendar year.

Applicants are encouraged to think creatively about the activities for which the grants could pay.  Any academic project related to any aspect of the Middle East or Middle Eastern Studies is applicable. Scholars from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply.

Faculty and students can find more information, project ideas, and how to apply at the Middle Eastern studies website. For more information, contact Dr. Krista Lewis at 501-8322 or kxlewis@ualr.com.
