Cornell University study gets boost from grant

Becoming fluent in another language can be an integral component to humanities students’ studies, but for many, juggling language classes with additional coursework requirements, teaching assistantships, and other responsibilities can prove challenging during the academic year. To support summer learning opportunities, the Graduate School offers Summer Foreign Language Grants that can help alleviate the stress.

Thirteen doctoral students were awarded grants for 2023, with destinations including France, Germany, Indonesia, Jordan, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and remote instruction from research locations for language instruction in Arabic, Cantonese, French, German, Malay, Mandarin, Ottoman, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese.
