Description
The Office of Global Educational Programs of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) announces an open competition for the 2019 Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program. The CLS Program provides eight- to ten-week foreign language instruction in overseas immersion programs for U.S. undergraduate and graduate students. The CLS Program is a component of the Department of State's effort to increase the number of Americans who learn critical foreign languages in support of the U.S. foreign policy goals of bolstering national security; promoting U.S. competitiveness and economic prosperity; and building mutual understanding with critical regions of the world. The CLS Program is administered by ECA's USA Study Abroad branch (ECA/A/S/Q).
