Important information for applicants for summer Hindi
Critical Languages Scholarship
U.S. citizens who are planning on applying for the Hindi language summer program should also submit an application for the Critical Language Scholarship (CLS), a fully-funded language program supported by the U.S. State Department, if they meet the eligibility requirements. Students should submit an application for both the AIIS program and the CLS program if possible. For more information on the CLS program, go to https://clscholarship.org/languages/hindi.
It is important to note that the CLS application due date is earlier than the AIIS deadline. Those who apply for CLS but do not receive it are still eligible to be admitted to the AIIS program as long as they have submitted an application.
Those who apply for a CLS but do not receive it could still be admitted to the AIIS program as long as they have also submitted an application to AIIS.
NOTE: Elementary levels of Summer Hindi will only be offered to those with CLS fellowships.
