Only 4 days left until the deadline for the Critical
Language Scholarship (CLS) competition! Applications are due Monday, November
23, 2015 by 7:59 p.m. Eastern time.
The U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce the
scholarship competition for the 2016 CLS Program in fourteen critical foreign
languages. The CLS Program provides fully-funded group-based intensive language
instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences for seven to ten
weeks for U.S. citizen undergraduate and graduate students.
Languages offered: Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla, Chinese,
Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Swahili,
Turkish, and Urdu.
The application is available online at http://www.clscholarship.org.
Applications will be due November 23, 2015 by 7:59 p.m. Eastern time. Prior to
preparing their application, interested students should review the full
eligibility and application information on the CLS Program website. Arabic,
Chinese, Persian, Russian, and Japanese institutes have language prerequisites,
which can also be found on the website.
Students from all academic disciplines, including
business, engineering, law, medicine, science, social sciences, arts and
humanities are encouraged to apply. While there is no service requirement
attached to CLS Program awards, participants are expected to continue their
language study beyond the scholarship period, and later apply their critical
language skills in their professional careers.
Prior to preparing their application, interested students
should review the full eligibility and application information on the CLS
Program website: http://www.clscholarship.org/information-for/applicants.
