The United States Department of State and the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC) are pleased to announce the availability of overseas scholarships for intensive summer language institutes in eleven critical need foreign languages for summer 2009.

Critical Language Scholarships (CLS) provide seven to ten week
group-based intensive language instruction and extensive cultural
enrichment experiences at the beginning, intermediate and advanced
levels (beginning not offered for Azerbaijani, Russian, Chinese or
Persian). Full program details and the on-line application are available

The CLS Program is 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. Students of diverse disciplines and majors are encouraged to
apply. Participants are expected to continue their language study beyond
the scholarship period, and later apply their critical language skills
in their future professional careers in any field.

Deadline to Apply: On-line application due on Friday, November 14, 2008.

Grant Benefits: All CLS Program costs are covered for participants
including: travel to and from the student’s U.S. home city and program
