Cairo 2004 students at the Opera, Cairo Opera House, Egypt.

Students will be selected on a competitive, rolling-admissions basis. Applicants are encouraged to apply early. Acceptances will be extended beginning December 1, 2008. In evaluating a student application, we will look at the student essay, transcript, and general suitability for foreign travel and study. We will seek a diverse group of enrollees for this summer's program.

Upon acceptance, students will be provided with an acceptance package explaining program procedures in detail. Students will be asked to sign an acceptance pledge, an "Assumption of the Risk" form, and to pay a $250 non-refundable deposit. It is anticipated that the deposit deadline will be April 15, 2009.
