Dear Colleague, 

It’s been a busy day for the CLS Program. Today marks our first day back in the office in DC since 2020 – and it is notification day! We are pleased to share that notifications have been sent to all applicants (overseas and CLS Spark!) to let them know the status of their applications. 

Semi-finalists for the overseas program can expect to hear from us again in early March; applicants for CLS Spark can expect to hear from us around mid-March. 

As a reminder, notifications were sent to the primary email address listed on each student’s application. If you have students who are waiting to hear back, please encourage them to check their spam filters and to wait 24 hours before reaching out to us with questions. Student emails can be directed to cls@americancouncils.org. 

Thank you again for all your support of the CLS Program.

 Sincerely,

Caitlin Ting 
Assistant Manager 
Critical Language Scholarship Program
