@AdventuresAbroad what program was it, out of curiosity?
Also, to the seniors, almost every university has some sort of study abroad program, so if you still want to travel and learn at the same time, definitely look into it! My brother went to China last summer (2016) and he applied for a grant and got to go for free! the opportunities are endless.
@Makayla(^O^)/ CBYX sends students to Germany for the academic year. It’s the same as NSLI-Y and YES with funding and everything
Hey guys, if anyone’s a NSLI-Y Korean semifinalist and is interested in joining a groupchat, please pm me for more details!
Congrats to all semis!
I got accepted to the Russian summer program with Tajikistan summer as my second option! Ура ура ура, я хочу приехать в Молдову!)))))))
If anyone else who is going to the Russian program wants to start a group chat HMU. I know Russian at a pretty advanced level already so I can help you all getting started before our adventure 
SEMIFINALIST for Arabic summer!!!

How does one do that / get there?
Привет,
I already sent a message to the other Russian summer people about this. I want to start this group chat on the Russian social media site Vkontakte - it’s like the Russian version of Facebook, and just downloading it will be a great first step for any beginners to become familiar with the cultures of post-Soviet countries (plus the chatting feature is great). I’ll formulate the details once I get more replies.
semi for hindi and turkish 
super excited and happy if the turkish one gets dissolved, does anyone know what plans they have for the turkish finalists? my first choice is hindi but im jw
@nadinerahim I know my friend applied for the Turkish summer program last year, but it got dissolved, so he attended the China one instead.
summer semifinalist for Russia/“Any”! Hope that everyone here is named a finalist!
ohhh okay. good to know. thank you!
Sorry for bothering, but could you please list a few other full scholarship programs? I just got rejected for Korea summer/ Korea year and I’m pretty bummed out, but still determined to go abroad! I tried searching for other free programs, but I didn’t find much and the ones that I did find didn’t offer any countries/languages that I’m interested in.
Summer semi-finalist for Russian! I made it this time!
@gmwilson Congrats! The second time’s the charm!
@desa33 are you just looking for Korean ones? I know of a couple but I don’t think they have Korea
@desa33 I would recommend CBYX, but the deadline varies on your location. It’s an opportunity to study abroad in Germany tho. http://www.usagermanyscholarship.org/
Last year, I was a semi but was rejected this year.
Last year, I was a semi but was rejected this year. I still have a chance with YES and CBYX though! Good luck to all the semis!! May the odds be in your favor!
Congrats to everyone that made it to semis this year! I am an alumnus from Korean Summer so if you have any questions feel to free to ask me whether it be for the program in general or the interview. I have a blog post with tips for the interview if you guys want to check it out at endeavorswithemma.■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ! And like everyone has stated before, don’t be discouraged if you didn’t make semis this year. There were people on my program who didn’t make semis their first year and made it all the way the second year. I was also rejected at the finalist stage my first time applying as a freshman but then my second time applying left me with the scholarship so keep on trying!~
