Here is another great opportunity for students for the 2011/2012 National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) overseas intensive language programs sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.

Merit-based scholarships are available to study overseas for summer, semester and academic year programs in Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Korean, Persian, Russian and Turkish.  In addition, your school, school system and/or local university can apply for a sub-grantee award to organize and implement six- to eight-week overseas intensive language programs to take place during 2011/2012.

Interested students should visit http://www.nsliforyouth.org, where they can complete the online application.  The deadline is November 11, 2010.
