Critical Language
Scholarship (CLS) Program
Applications are now being

Applications are

by 8:00pm
EST.
The CLS Program is a
fully-funded intensive overseas language and cultural immersion program for
U.S. undergraduate and
graduate students enrolled at U.S. colleges and
universities. Students spend eight to ten weeks abroad studying one of 15
critical languages: Arabic,
Azerbaijani, Bangla, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian,
Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Swahili, Turkish, and Urdu.
Most CLS languages do not require previous
study of the target language.
The program includes
intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment
experiences designed to promote rapid language gains. The scholarship
program includes international airfare, tuition, and all program costs, as
well as meals and living accommodations (often with a host family).
The CLS Program seeks
participants with diverse interests, and from a wide range of fields of
study and career paths, with the purpose of representing the full diversity
of the United States. Participants are selected based on their commitment
to language learning and plans
to apply their language skills to their future academic or professional
pursuits.
CLS is part of a wider
government initiative to expand the number of Americans studying and
mastering foreign languages that are critical to national security and
economic prosperity. CLS plays an important role in preparing students for
the 21st century's globalized workforce and increasing national
competitiveness.
