Hi guys! I've been a lurker until now as well. I just got a scholarship to Jordan for 8 months next year for Arabic. Incredibly excited!!!! Congratulations to everyone accepted, and to everyone else, there are lots of other opportunities! Looking forward to meeting everyone in DC!
(@shoft_el_ayam, I'm going to the Qasid Institute and would be happy to discuss other options I looked at –– PM me if you'd like)
