Istanbul Between East and West: Crossroads of History 
I am excited about this institute and would love to apply, but I have attended three previous NEH seminars, the last one in 20111. Can you say candidly whether my application would be given serious consideration in light of my earlier opportunities? Thank you.
Yes, you are eligible to apply and your application will certainly be given proper consideration.
I think this course would enhance my understanding of the region and most certainly benefit my students. Could you elaborate more on any written projects we would be expected to complete.
