Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages

Full Scholarships Available for Intensive Arabic Language Study at the Middlebury Summer Language Schools

Middlebury College is pleased to announce the Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages. These 100 fellowships are made possible by a generous gift from Kathryn Davis to address today’s critical need for increased language proficiency in the United States.

For the third year in a row, the Kathryn Davis Fellowships are being offered to cover the full cost of one summer of language study at the Middlebury Language Schools—from the beginner to the graduate level—in six languages, including Arabic. The fellowship covers the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board), plus a stipend to assist in defraying program-related expenses.

Middlebury Language Schools Open a Second Site at Mills College in Oakland, Ca.

The Arabic School moves to Mills in Summer 2009

In response to increasing demand for admission to the Middlebury Language Schools, we’re pleased to announce the creation of a new West Coast learning site. Now accepting applications, Middlebury at Mills brings the power of our established Language School programs to the historic Mills College campus in Oakland, California. Beginning in the summer of 2009, the Arabic School will be located exclusively at Mills. This provides a unique opportunity for our West Coast students to benefit from our intensive immersion programs closer to home, and for East Coast students to explore the liveliness and cultural diversity of the Bay Area.
