Advisor Accounts

The CLS Program works in partnership with faculty, administrators, and staff members at colleges and universities across the United States to share information about the program and advise students interested in applying. Although applicants are not required to obtain support from their home institutions to apply for the scholarship, the CLS Program values the role that advisors play in supporting students as they prepare competitive applications for nationally-competed awards like CLS.

The Role of CLS Advisors

Advisors in our network typically support students and the CLS Program by:

• Advocating for and promoting the CLS Program on campus, both to students and to other faculty members and administrators;
• Supporting students throughout the application process;
• Staying up-to-date on application and program requirements; and
• Serving as a point of contact for staff from the CLS Program and the U.S. Department of State for outreach efforts.
