The American Institute of Indian Studies welcomes applications for its
summer 2015 and academic year 2015-2016 language programs. Programs to
be offered include Hindi (Jaipur), Bengali (Kolkata), Punjabi
(Chandigarh), Tamil (Madurai); Marathi (Pune), Urdu (Lucknow), Telugu
(Hyderabad), Gujarati (Ahmedabad), Kannada (Mysore), Malayalam
(Thiruvananthapuram), Mughal Persian (Lucknow), Sanskrit (Pune) and
Pali/Prakrit (Pune). We will offer other Indian languages upon request.
All academic year applicants should have the equivalent of two years of
prior language study. For summer Sanskrit, we require the equivalent of
two years of prior study; for summer Bengali, Hindi and Tamil we require
the equivalent of one year of prior study. For summer Urdu, we require
the equivalent of one year of either Hindi or Urdu. We can offer courses
at all levels, including beginning, in other Indian languages for the
summer.
Summer students should apply for FLAS if available at their
institutions for funding to cover the costs of the program. Funding for
Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu may be available through the U.S. State
Department's CLS program (see www.clscholarship.org). AIIS
has some funding available for summer students who cannot procure FLAS
or CLS funding. This funding is allocated on the basis of the language
committee's ranking of the applicants. Academic year students are
eligible to apply for an AIIS fellowship which would cover all expenses for the program. AIIS
is also offering a fall semester program. We offer Hindi, Bengali and
Urdu at all levels for the fall; we require two years of prior language
study for other languages for the fall.
The application deadline is January 31, 2015. Applications can be downloaded from the AIIS web site at www.indiastudies.org. For more information: Phone: 773-702-8638. Email: aiis@uchicago.edu.
