People who speak multiple languages are skilled and talented, holding significant knowledge not just about linguistic rules but also the intricacies within how each language conceptualizes life.
Unfortunately, students whose first language isn’t English often face difficulties in their youth as they work to overcome language barriers, often being forced to act as a translator for friends and family and having to go through their education using their second language.
This scholarship aims to recognize the skill and strength of multilingual individuals as they pursue their higher education goals.
Any high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student whose first language is not English may apply for this scholarship.
To apply, tell us about yourself, your post-graduation plans, what your first language is, and what the challenges and benefits of being bilingual/multilingual are.
