Opportunities for Students
 
State Dept. Offers Scholarships for Summer Language Study Abroad

The United States Department of State and the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) provide scholarships for intensive overseas study in critical-need languages such as Arabic, Bangla, Hindi, Punjabi, Turkish and Urdu.

 

As part of the National Security Language Initiative (NSLI), a U.S. government interagency effort to expand dramatically the number of Americans studying and mastering critical need foreign languages, the Department of State Critical Language Scholarships will provide funding for U.S. citizen undergraduate, master’s and Ph.D. students to participate in beginning, intermediate and advanced level summer language programs at American Overseas Research Centers.

 

Recipients of these scholarships will be expected to continue their language beyond the scholarship period and later apply their critical language skills in their professional careers. For more information, visit the COARC Web site.
