MESA welcomes contributions
to its many programs.
MESA's General
Fund
Since the association's
founding in 1966, MESA has promoted scholarship
on and teaching about the Middle East. A contribution
to the general fund helps guarantee that the association
will continue these activities into the future.
General fund support strengthens MESA's ability
to advocate for our profession and our fields;
it permits us to undertake new projects, increase
our outreach efforts and improve service to our
members and to the public. A financially strong
MESA is vital to the field of Middle East studies. |

MESA's
Awards Programs
Join us in recognizing
the very best in scholarship on the Middle East,
whether by student scholars who compete for the
best student paper prize,
or by advanced graduate students whose dissertations
are honored with a Malcolm
H. Kerr Dissertation Award. The prestigious
Albert Hourani Book Award
recognizes mature work in the form of the best
book written on a Middle Eastern topic in a given
year. |
| Mentoring
and Service Recognition
Contribute to
the MESA Mentoring Award
and help MESA praise the extraordinary teachers
and mentors who trained today's productive scholars.
Give to the Jere L. Bacharach
Service Award and help MESA honor the men
and women whose devotion to Middle East studies
is characterized by their life-long service to
MESA and/or the field. |

Academic
Freedom
Contribute to
MESA's Academic Freedom Fund. Help defend academic
freedom in the United States and signal your support
for unimpeded inquiry and unfettered debate. Help
MESA ensure that scholars not only in Middle East
studies, but ultimately in all disciplines, are
able to conduct research and teach in an environment
that is not subject to the political whims of
the day. |
Gifts of Securities
MESA welcomes and can easily accept
gifts of securities through its Fidelity Investments
account. Please contact MESA for a copy of its"Security
Transfer Instructions." The proceeds from the transfer
of securities can be earmarked toward any of MESA's
programs or could perhaps be used to establish new programs
of service to the profession.
