The Global Partners Language and Technology Task Force is pleased to announce the availability of scholarships for language study in the summer of 2004. These merit-based scholarships are for study of any of the languages of the Global Partners Centers--Czech, Russian, Swahili, or Turkish. We are lending somewhat more support to Czech because we are privileged to have a Czech professor from our Global Partners Center visiting Beloit for the summer.

For Czech: Scholarships in an amount up to $2500 are available for study at the Beloit College Center for Language Study. Applicants must be full-time students or faculty members at any of the 42 Global Partners institutions. Individual awards will range from a minimum of $1000 to a maximum of $2500, and the total number of awards will depend on the pool of applications received. Total award money available is $5000. Interested students should complete an application and write an essay explaining the value of such language study to their academic and future professional lives. Interested faculty members should complete an application and explain how such language study will enhance their promotion of international education on their campus. Applications must be received by April 23, 2004 for full consideration.
