The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) offers fully-funded fellowships and a research associate program for American scholars to conduct research in Egypt. Fellowship disciplines include anthropology, archaeology, architecture, fine art, art history, Coptic studies, economics, Egyptology, ethnomusicology, history, humanistic social sciences, Islamic studies, literature, and religious studies. Program alumni serve as directors and faculty of Middle Eastern studies and history departments at leading universities, in the United States and abroad, and as curators of Egyptian and Near Eastern art collections at major museums and research institutions.
Decades of close collaboration with the Egyptian ministries and institutions enable ARCE to provide fellows with solid administrative support and advice that eases access to Egyptian museums, monuments, archaeological sites, research libraries, archives and Egyptian institutions of higher education.
