The Critical Language Scholarship Program is a funded study abroad program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State that provides intensive language and cultural immersion over the summer. It is open to U.S. students enrolled in all degree programs at North Carolina State University. The application for this opportunity opened recently and will close on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
Through CLS, students spend eight to ten weeks abroad studying one of 13 critical languages and earn academic credit for their work. The scholarship includes travel expenses, coursework, group excursions, and a small stipend to cover daily living expenses. Most languages offered by the CLS Program do not require applicants to have any experience studying critical languages.
