Critical Language Scholarship Info Session

Critical Language Scholarship Info Session

Are you interested in learning a language abroad over the summer and getting paid to do it? Come learn more about how you can do this as a Critical Language Scholarship Program Scholar! The National Scholarships Office will be holding an information session at 2PM on November 7 in the Bone House. All interested students are encouraged to attend.

The CLS Program is a fully-funded program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State that provides intensive overseas language and cultural immersion and is open to U.S. students enrolled in all degree programs at Georgia College

Through CLS, students spend eight to ten weeks abroad to learn one of 14 critical languages and earn academic credit for their work. The scholarship includes travel expenses, coursework, group excursions, and even a small stipend to cover your daily living expenses. Most languages offered by the CLS Program do not require applicants to have any experience studying critical languages.

In addition, CLS Spark, a virtual program, provides opportunities for American undergraduate students to study Arabic, Chinese and Russian at the beginning level. CLS Spark was designed to leverage best practices in online language learning and provide the opportunity to study critical languages for students who may not have access to critical languages on their campus or the ability to study abroad. 

The CLS Program seeks participants with diverse interests, and from a wide range of fields of study and career paths; students from all academic disciplines, including business, engineering, law, medicine, science, social sciences, arts and humanities are encouraged to apply.
