The Luso-American Development Foundation has recently made thousands of dollars in scholarships available for students who apply to the UMass-Dartmouth Summer Program in Portuguese, which runs from July 7th to August 6, 2008. Course topics range from elementary to advanced Portuguese, Portuguese-English translation, Portuguese-American literature and culture, contemporary Brazilian history, to an advanced undergraduate/graduate course on the Portuguese cultural encounter in Asia. A specific number of scholarships is reserved for teachers of Portuguese and high school students.
Those interested in registering for these courses and applying for scholarships can visit the program's website at http://www.portstudies.umassd.edu/summer/summer.htm to download an application, or can call the Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture directly at (508) 999-8255.
