Important announcements
The 2014-15 NSLI for Youth application is now available!
Deadline: November 5, 2013
The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, provides merit-based scholarships for eligible U.S. high school students to learn less commonly taught languages in summer and academic-year overseas immersion programs. Programs are available for Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Korean, Persian (Tajiki), Russian and Turkish.
The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) program was launched in 2006 to promote critical language learning among American youth. The U.S. Department of State, in cooperation with American Councils for International Education, awards and administers merit-based scholarships to high school students for participation in immersion programs in locations where the seven NSLI-Y languages are spoken. NSLI-Y immerses participants in the cultural life of the host country, giving them invaluable formal and informal language practice and sparking a lifetime interest in foreign languages and cultures. Previous language study is not required, and language learners of all levels are encouraged to apply.
We hope you will help to spread the word about NSLI-Y to your colleagues or high school students you know.
For more information, please visit www.nsliforyouth.org. If you have any questions or would like to request brochures, please contact nsliy@americancouncils.org.
Sincerely,
NSLI-Y Administration
