A representative from the Department of State and a representative from the Council for Overseas Research Centers will be on the Clarkston Campus Friday, Oct 22nd from 9am – 10am in conference room CA1403. If you would like to learn more about the Critical Languages Scholarship Program, the Gilman Scholarship, or Fulbright Fellowships, please join us for an informal information session.
Sponsored by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program will offer intensive summer language institutes overseas in thirteen critical need foreign languages for summer 2011.
The CLS Program provides fully-funded seven to ten week group-based intensive language instruction and extensive cultural enrichment experiences held overseas at the beginning, intermediate and advanced levels (beginning not offered for Arabic, Azerbaijani, Chinese, Persian or Russian) for U.S. citizen undergraduate, Master's and Ph.D. students.
Students of diverse disciplines and majors are encouraged to apply. Former CLS participants have applied with various academic backgrounds including business, engineering, law, science, medicine, social sciences and humanities. The CLS Program does not have any government service requirement upon completion; however, it is expected that participants will continue to continue their language study beyond the scholarship period and later apply their critical language skills in their future academic and professional careers.
Additional details may be found on our website at www.CLScholarship.org
Please encourage your students to attend!
