Critical Language Scholarship Program Info Sessions

Study a Language Abroad This Summer with a CLS Award!

The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is a fully-funded language-intensive summer study abroad program geared to promote rapid language gains and essential intercultural fluency in regions that are critical to U.S. national security and economic prosperity. Each summer, American undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities across the country, spend eight to ten weeks learning one of fourteen languages at an intensive study abroad institute. 

The CLS Program is offering multiple webinars to help applicants learn more about languages both taught at UMBC, as well as strategic languages not taught here, such as Azerbaijani, Indonesian, Persian and Turkish. UMBC has a long history of its students receiving these competitive awards.
