NSLI-Y NH20 Application Now Available!

The Outbound Sponsored Programs (OSP) team is happy to announce that the 2020-21 National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) application is now available online. Please join us in spreading the news about this U.S. Department of State program that provides merit-based summer and year-long scholarships for eligible high school students and recent high school graduates.

The NSLI-Y program provides merit-based scholarships for eligible high school students and recent high school graduates to learn less commonly taught languages in summer and academic-year overseas immersion programs. The program immerses participants in the cultural life of the host country, giving them formal and informal language practice and sparking a lifetime interest in foreign languages and cultures. Summer and academic year programs are available for Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Persian (Tajiki), Russian, and Turkish. The deadline to apply for NH20 programs is October 30, 2019 at 4:00 pm ET. More information about the program and application can be found at www.nsliforyouth.org.

Outbound CBYX and YES Abroad NH20 applications are expected to launch within the next month. In the meantime, interested volunteers and potential applicants should visit the program websites to learn more or to register to be notified once an application opens:
