Deadline to apply, *February 1, 2010

The Monterey Institute of International Studies is pleased to announce up to 30 full fellowships- -including tuition, room, board and books to attend Middlebury Language Schools, June - August 2010.

To be eligible for fellowships, candidates must be admitted to 
a degree program in international policy, international business, or teaching foreign language, for Fall 2010.

In the fourth year of this program, these fellowships are made possible by a $1 million gift from Kathryn Davis to address today's critical need for more effective language proficiency. The award covers the cost of tuition, room and board to attend the Middlebury summer Language Schools. Fellowship recipients will study Arabic, Chinese, Japanese or Russian through the Language Schools' signature immersion model: "No English Spoken Here." This intense study, equivalent to a full year of college-level language learning, will allow students to enhance language skills to meet enrollment prerequisites at the Monterey Institute for Fall 2010.
