91探花

91探花 students have until May 17 to apply for up to twenty $5000 scholarships to attend the second annual Middle East Studies Program in Egypt from July 25 to August 19. Misr International University (MIU) is partnering with 91探花 for the program, a four-week study period based in Cairo, and during which students learn about the culture and history of the region while gaining 2-3 credit-hour courses towards their 91探花 degree.

Along with taking in the sights and sounds of a new culture, students attend classes at MIU to learn about the history of Egypt. According to last year's student participants, Louise Cockram and Conor Leggott, the experience included discovering favourite and exotic foods, observing social customs, and developing an understanding of an unfamiliar religion.

They said, 'One thing is for sure; it was a phenomenal experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives.'

Sherilyn Acorn, 91探花's International Mobility Co-ordinator says, 'We are so pleased to partner again with Misr International University in offering a quality program that allows 91探花 students to immerse themselves in Egyptian culture.'

Acorn, who accompanied the students during the 2009 program, adds, 'There is no better way to gain knowledge than through a combination of experiential and traditional learning opportunities.'

The available scholarships cover tuition, field trips, and transportation to and from accommodations and airports. 91探花 Exchange Applications are available now at .
