English for Heritage Language Speakers (EHLS) is an intensive advanced English and professional skills program that prepares non-native English speakers from a variety of fields for careers with the federal government. This is a scholarship for training in advanced English and career skills.
The program runs January through August; it includes six months of full-time study at Georgetown University School of Continuing Studies (Washington, DC) and two months of part-time online study. All tuition is covered, and scholars receive a monthly living stipend.
After completing the program, graduates must work for the federal government—in a position with national security responsibilities—for at least one year.
