The Graduate School of Arts and Science of New York University is pleased to announce the establishment of the Falak Sufi Scholarships awarded by the master’s program in Near Eastern Studies at the Kevorkian Center. Candidates for the master’s program in Near Eastern Studies are eligible to apply, including applicants to the program’s joint degree with Journalism, the concentration with Museum Studies, and the business track.
The Falak Sufi Scholarship is to honour the memory of a beloved student in the Near Eastern Studies program who died tragically in New York in 2008, and to support students from countries with a majority Islamic population in South Asia who might not otherwise be able to obtain a graduate education.
For 2010–11, the scholarship includes an academic-year stipend (a minimum of $22,440), tuition, student health insurance, and registration and services fees for up to two years, provided that academic standards of the Graduate School and the graduate program are met.
The application deadline for fall 2010 admission is January 4, 2010.
