Subject: [BlindKid] Scholarships for foreign language study for high school students

*The 2021-22 NSLI for Youth application is now available!*

*Deadline: November 5, 2020 (4 PM ET)*

The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) <http://www.nsliforyouth.org/>, a program of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA), 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, Indonesian, Korean, Persian (Tajiki), Russian, and Turkish.

The 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 eight NSLI-Y languages are spoken. NSLI-Y immerses participants in the cultural life of the host community, giving them formal and informal language practice and sparking a lifetime interest in foreign languages and cultures.

*Previous language study is not required; language learners of all levels are welcome to apply*. The NSLI-Y program seeks applicants who represent the diversity of the United States. Students of all racial, ethnic, religious, gender identities, sexual orientations, disabilities, and socio-economic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. American Councils makes every effort to provide reasonable accommodation for participants with disabilities. For students who require accommodations, a written request for accommodations must be made, per the American Councils Disability Accommodations Policy (provided at the time of selection notification).

Digital brochures and posters can be requested at:
