-A&L Major/Minor: Undergraduate applicants must have a declared major, supplementary major, or minor in the College of Arts & Letters. A documented intent to declare a major/minor will also be accepted. Graduate student applicants may apply from any College/School and area of study.

-One Year of Language: Applicants should have at least one year of college foreign language study or its equivalent at the time that their summer language study will begin. Graduate students are exempt from this requirement.

-Academic Standing: Applicants should be in good academic standing and enrolled in Notre Dame coursework during the semester following summer language study (i.e. no graduating seniors).

-Award Levels: Meritorious proposals will be funded according to demonstrated need via itemized budgets and availability of funds up to a maximum of $5,500. However, many awards will be for less than this maximum, and all budgeted costs should be justified and demonstrate modest estimations for spending.

-Exceptional Awards: In some exceptional cases, funding may exceed this $5,500 threshold; however, such instances are exceedingly rare and should not be anticipated in the proposal development process.

-Financial Need: While all proposals, and subsequent award decisions, are evaluated purely on the merits of their content and according to the SLA Grant rubric, funding levels for a minority of awards may receive a slight increase for students who have demonstrated federal financial need status.

-Coordinated Awards: The CSLC coordinates with other institutional funding partners in order to ensure that no applicant receives summer language study awards from more than one program in excess of the $5,500 maximum (with some rare exceptions) and also to guarantee that all applicants receive appropriate funding from eligible programs even if they do not apply to them. Thus, students who apply for summer language funding through multiple campus institutes, centers, or grant programs will receive a single coordinated award up to a maximum of $5,500.

Selection Criteria:

The review committee will utilize the SLA Grant Evaluation Rubric to evaluate individual proposals. Please take a moment to review these criteria as you develop your proposal.
