semi-finalist for intermediate Mandarin, I'll be working for the government postgrad likely doing international-related stuff for intel/defense purposes and would like to use my Mandarin in my job!
Thanks aseolyoung! I really hope my agency will let me do it -- improving my language skills in a critical language through a government-sponsored program without my specific agency having to pay any money can only be a win-win ?
Don't know if anyone would have experience with this, but suppose I have a security clearance from interning with a government agency and plan to, after the summer, continue being employed in that arena so that my clearance will still be used. Would I be able to participate in CLS during the summer without jeopardizing my clearance?
Rejected, which I'm okay with because I didn't invest that much time into my essays. LOL
Anyone know of any other similar summer study abroad scholarships to a Mandarin-speaking country, or at least programs that are relatively affordable and/or offer financial aid? I know of TUSA, but there have got to be more :/
