Incredible opportunity
Dr. Timothy Lim, who teaches at California State University at Los Angeles, sent me information about this incredible opportunity.The deadline for application is December 4, so you have three weeks to get your application in. This kind of opportunity is rare. Go for it!
The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) is offering more than 600 full scholarships to U.S. high school students to study abroad and learn Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Hindi, Korean, Russian, and Turkish. Programs begin in Summer 2010.
The Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in cooperation with American Councils for International Education, AFS-USA, iEARN-USA, and Concordia Language Villages, is awarding U.S. government funding to high school and just-graduated students (ages 15 – 18) to participate in summer, one-semester and full-year language programs in countries where these languages are widely spoken. Past participants of the NSLI-Y program are eligible to apply again.
Students wishing to apply for the scholarship need to:
* be U.S. citizens
* be between the ages of 15-18 years at the time of departure
* be enrolled in high school at the time of application
* have at least a 2.5 GPA
Deadline for application is December 4, 2009.
