Are you interested in studying a critical language abroad? The U.S. Department of State is offering scholarships to study Korean, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Urdu, Swahili, and Portuguese. The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is currently accepting applications until mid November, and is hosting several informational webinars this week.
