Under what circumstances will my application be denied?

Middle East Fellowship reserves the right to reject any application submitted. We may, for example, impose a cap for a maximum number of participants. In this case any application submitted after we have filled all available spots will be returned. The program is designed for fluent English speakers. No background in Arabic is required. If for any reason whatsoever we feel that you may be a risk to yourself or others during the program, your application will be denied. We ask that people do not purchase their plane tickets until they have been formally accepted into the program.
