Global Studies Students Receive Critical Language Scholarships from U.S. State Department

The U.S. Department of State Critical Language Scholarship (CLS) is offered to undergraduate and graduate students that wish to participate in intensive language institutes abroad. The CLS programs last from seven to ten weeks over the summer.

This past summer, six UNC Chapel Hill students received a CLS scholarship to master a language of interest. Of those six students, three were Global Studies majors.
