Subject: CLS scholarship program for 2014 announced

The U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce the scholarship
competition for the 2014 Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program in
thirteen critical foreign languages. The CLS Program provides fully-funded
group-based intensive language instruction and structured cultural
enrichment experiences for seven to ten weeks for U.S. citizen
undergraduate and graduate students.

Arabic is among the 13 offered languages! Other languages include:
Azerbaijani, Bangla, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian,
Punjabi, Russian, Turkish, and Urdu.

The application is available online at http://www.clscholarship.org.
Applications will be due November 15, 2013 by 8:00 pm EST. Prior to
preparing their application, interested students should review the full
eligibility and application information on the CLS Program website<
http://www.clscholarship.org/applicants>. Arabic, Chinese, Persian,
Russian, and Japanese institutes have language prerequisites, which can
also be found on the website.

Students from all academic disciplines, including business, engineering,
law, medicine, science, social sciences, arts and humanities are encouraged
to apply. While there is no service requirement attached to CLS Program
awards, participants are expected to continue their language study beyond
the scholarship period, and later apply their critical language skills in
their professional careers.

The CLS Program will be planning outreach events at universities across the
U.S. in fall 2013. Check out the CLS webpage or our Facebook page<
http://www.facebook.com/CLScholarship> for updates!
