Plea for help finding grants or other funding for ailing High School Russian program

[Lauren Hill 08]

Gillian,

The Foreign Language Assistance Program, funded by a Bush initiative, does just that. It is a grant program for which the school must apply; the amount of funding is determined by the needs of the school and program, as well as its past record of success. They are particularly interested in funding programs in "critical languages", i.e. Russian, Chinese, Arabic.

Some information:

If you search "FLAP" or "Foreign Language Assistance Program," you will find a great deal of information.
I graduated from the Russian program at Amherst College, and well aware of the great program you've had at ARHS. I wish you luck in securing future funding for the program.

Best,

Lauren Hill
