Background and Sponsorship
The English for Heritage Language Speakers (EHLS) Scholarship Program is
a partnership between the
National Security Education Program, the Center for Applied Linguistics,
and Georgetown University.
Funding for program development and scholarships is provided by the
National Security Education Program. In 2004, federal law pertaining to
the NSEP was amended to provide scholarships for native speakers of
languages critical to national security. Scholarship recipients attend
special programs at universities to raise their English proficiency from
advanced level to professional level (ILR 3).
The Center for Applied Linguistics manages the program which is hosted
by Georgetown and the University of Washington at Seattle. The
information on this website applies only to the Georgetown University
program. More information about the EHLS Program can be found on the CAL
website.
The GU-EHLS Scholarship Program was launched in March 2006 with nine
students. Their native languages were Arabic, Chinese, Korean, and
Russian, and their professional backgrounds included accounting,
broadcasting, international relations, translation and interpretation,
agricultural planning, engineering, and physics. All had advanced
degrees, many with more than one professional diploma. The inaugural
class graduated on August 25, 2006.
