The Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) Program is a program offered by the State Department as part of the National Security Language Initiative.
It offers language students of those languages deemed “critical” to the needs of the United States full scholarship to live and study in a target country.
Students live in host family environments and are completely immersed in the target country’s language and culture. Students are expected to continue their study of the target country’s language and culture following completion of the program.
