EHLS 2023 Webinar: What to Expect During and After EHLS

Native speakers of critical languages are in high demand in the U.S. government.

All EHLS participants receive a full scholarship from the Defense Language and National Security Education Office (DLNSEO) that includes tuition and a living stipend. As part of the scholarship obligation, participants agree to fulfill the EHLS service requirement, which requires you to work for the federal government for one year after you complete the program.

During the first six months of the eight-month program, EHLS scholars study professional English and career skills on a full-time, intensive basis.

After completing the program, scholars fulfill a service requirement; they must work for the federal government—in a position with national security responsibilities—for at least one year.

At this webinar, EHLS staff from the Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies will describe the intensive nature of the program and explain what EHLS scholars should expect, including describing a typical daily and weekly schedule. Then, a representative from the National Security Education Program will explain the service requirement and answer any questions that you may have.

The 2024 EHLS Program is open to native speakers of:

Amharic Arabic Azerbaijani Balochi Bambara Chinese Mandarin Hausa Hindi Kazakh Kirghiz Kurdish Korean Persian Dari Persian Farsi Punjabi Pushto/Pashto Russian Somali Tadjik Tamashek Thai Tigrinya Turkish Ukrainian Urdu Uzbek Vietnamese
