Here's part of an internal university memo. The one I have has the
State Dept seal, but the listserv treats it as attachment, so you
would have to take my word for it: it's there.
The Department of State's Critical Language Scholarships provide
funding for intensive overseas summer study of "critical need"
languages such as Arabic, Chinese, Indic (Bangla, Bengali, Hindi,
Punjabi, Urdu), Korean, Persian, Russian, and Turkish. Programs range
from 7 weeks to 11 weeks, beginning in early to mid-June with a pre-
departure orientation.
Benefits
All program costs are covered for participants. This includes travel
between the student's home city and program location, pre-departure
orientation costs, applicable visa fees, room, board, travel within
country and all entrance fees for program activities. University
level credit may be available.
Requirements (subject to change)
All applicants must be U.S. citizens. Applicants must be either
currently enrolled in a degree-granting program at the undergraduate
or graduate level or have graduated from an undergraduate or graduate
program no more than 2 years ago. Students in all disciplines are
encouraged to apply. Current undergraduate students must have
completed at least one year of general college course-work by program
start date. Recipients are expected to continue their language study
beyond the scholarship period and later apply their critical language
skills in their professional careers.
