National Security Language Initiative for Youth

The US Department of State through the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) provides merit-based scholarships for eligible high school students to learn less commonly taught languages in summer, semester, and academic year international immersion programs. NSLI-Y encourages beginning, intermediate, and advanced language learners with a passion for learning languages, communicating across cultures, and living abroad to apply.

You can find out more about the program at http://www.nsliforyouth.org/nslicms-1.1

Applications will be available for the 2012-13 program in late summer of 2011.
