US Government program to encourage "critical language" learning:
http://www.clscholarship.org/

Its limited to college students but for those of us still at school, it seems like a
great program. I was just wondering if anyone had any personal knowledge or experience
with the program or knew anything about its admissions.

I have had a few friends go through the program (Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, respectively)
and they all had very positive things to say. Contrary to what you might expect, there
isn't a great deal of flag-waving or pressure to join the State Department or other parts
of the government. The programs vary significantly in style, but all seem pretty
awesome.

One of them wrote a blog on her experience: http://mysummerinturkey.blogspot.com/

Thanks snomadic

The blog gave me some good insight into the program. I am definitely putting an
application in for the 2011 program, but I'm still curious about their admissions
process.

Did any of your friends do the beginner programs? I don't have any significant background
in the languages they offer, but I want to try for the Urdu program.
