The American Institute of Indian Studies welcomes applications for 
its summer 2008 language programs. Programs to be offered include:
         Hindi (Jaipur)
         Bengali (Kolkata)
         Punjabi (Chandigarh)
         Tamil (Madurai)
         Marathi (Pune)

         Sanskrit (Pune)

AIIS will offer other Indian languages upon request.

Pre-requisites for language study:  For regular summer Hindi and 
Sanskrit, we require the equivalent of two years of prior study; for 
summer Bengali and Tamil and for second-year Hindi 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.

Funding opportunities:  Summer students should apply for FLAS 
(graduate students) if available for funding to cover the costs of 
the program. Funding for Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi and Urdu may be 
available through the U.S. State Department's CLS program (see 
www.caorc.org). Academic year students are eligible to apply for an 
AIIS fellowship which would cover all expenses for the program. The
