These scholarships are designed for students interested in studying less commonly taught languages in world regions critical to U.S. interests, including Africa, Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Eurasia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Recipients are expected to study abroad for at least two semesters and to commit to working in the federal government for at least one year after graduation.

If you have a passion for the languages on this list, it helps. To win these, applicants need to have a firm understanding of "how their study abroad program, as well as their future academic and career goals, will contribute to U.S. national security."
