[analogueing]

"u do have time to do all those things, u just spend all ur time on ur phone" is not a sentiment i fully understood until i deleted instagram for *one* day and my stimulation deprived brain needed something to occupy itself with so bad that i downloaded a tajiki alphabet game and learned to read tajiki in the cyrillic script in one day. i don't even speak tajiki. or understand it. or know anyone who speaks it. but i guess i can read the letters now.

Scholarship to Study Language Abroad

If you’re a high school student and United States citizen with an interest in foreign languages (or you know someone who fits that description), definitely take the time to look into the National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y)! (If you’re a US citizen with an interest in foreign language but you’re an undergrad or graduate student, check out CLS instead!) NSLI-Y is a State Department-sponsored scholarship program that sends high school students abroad for a summer or academic year to study a critical-need language. It is FULLY FUNDED, which means the scholarship covers all tuition, travel expenses, visa fees, accommodations, and even medical insurance. The languages offered for NSLI-Y’s 2019-20 programs are as follows:

Arabic (summer and academic year offered)

Chinese - Mandarin (summer and academic year offered)

Hindi (summer and academic year offered)

Indonesian (summer only)

Korean (summer and academic year offered)

Persian - Tajiki (summer only)

Russian (summer and academic year offered)

Turkish (summer only)

(If you’re a student of German, you might consider CBYX.)

NSLI-Y students participate in intensive language classes, as well as cultural classes/activities and excursions. They may live with host families, in dorms, or a combination of both. Participants are sent as part of a group of other accepted students to one of a number of pre-determined host locations, so NSLI-Y is also an amazing opportunity to meet peers from around the country who share your passion for languages! NO PREVIOUS LANGUAGE OR TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED! Applications opened today (August 22, 2018) and are due October 30, 2018 in order to be considered for the 2019 summer or 2019-20 academic year programs.

As an alumna of NSLI-Y’s Chinese summer program, I’m more than happy to try and answer any questions you might have! (You can send your questions to either of my blogs: @adventuresofyifen or @zhongwenstudieren.) You can also head over to my Wordpress blog for a compilation of past NSLI-Y blogs from all languages to get an idea of past program locations and participants’ experiences!
