Program Description:
Over the course of five decades, ARCE’s fellowship program has
benefited more than six hundred scholars, whose research interests span
the diversity of Egypt’s periods and cultures. The
goal of ARCE’s fellowship program is to promote a more profound
knowledge of Egypt and the Near East through study and research and to
aid in the training of American specialists in academic disciplines
that require familiarity with Egypt.
The annual competition
for ARCE pre-doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships attracts applicants
from throughout the United States.
Collectively, the publications
resulting from ARCE fellowships constitute a substantial library that
includes a sizable portion of all scholarly output on Egypt by
Americans since 1957.
Program Long-Term Success:
Program alumni include
directors and faculty of Middle Eastern studies departments at leading
universities in the United States and abroad, and curators of Egyptian
and Near Eastern art at major museums and research institutions.
Some two hundred doctoral dissertations have been
made possible as a result of research conducted under ARCE’s auspices.
