This year’s application for Critical Language Scholarship from the US State Department is now open. (Thanks, group chat!)

CLS is a fully funded summer language immersion program for American undergraduate and graduate students. I strongly encourage any interested in learning one of the nine critical languages to apply. Some languages require prior language study; others accept beginners.

Feel free to email me if you are considering the CLS program or have questions about the experience. I completed CLS Korean in 2016 and have kept in touch with participants from lots of cohorts since then. Here is my advice post.
