Opportunities

What opens a door to Arabic for students and teachers wherever they are: scholarships to study it at universities and institutes, open calls to take part in its conferences, and competitions and regular programmes run by its institutions around the world.

Most of these opportunities are run by their organisers for a fee, except the scholarships. What we do is bring them together in one place, in two languages, and point you to the organiser; fees, conditions and deadlines are set by the organiser, on each opportunity’s own page.
