American Councils for International Education is seeking non-profit organizations and educational institutions to implement short-term overseas language programs for high school and recently-graduated students (ages 15-18) as part of the U.S. Department of State's National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) Program. Funding is available for Chinese (Mandarin), Hindi, Korean, Russian, and Turkish summer language immersion programs.

Sub-grantee applicants may apply for either local or partner sub-grants. Local sub-grantees will recruit and select their own program participants. Partner sub-grantees will be assigned a group of students recruited and selected through the national NSLI-Y application and selection process administered by American Councils.

Proposals are due no later than October 16, 2014, 4:30 PM Eastern Time.
