Summer Programs/Study Abroad
The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) is a US State Department funded program which provides American high school students with free opportunities to study less commonly taught critical languages in overseas academic settings. Full merit-based scholarships are available to study overseas for summer and academic year programs in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Korean, Persian (Tajik), Russian, and Turkish. NSLI-Y scholars participate in intensive language classes, home stays, cultural experiences, and volunteer projects. These are EXCELLENT opportunities for students to get started on learning a critical language that will be extremely useful in their future college and career plans. Applicants must be US citizens, high school students with a minimum 2.5 GPA, and 15-18 years of age at the start of the program.
