LCAL Study Abroad and International Internships Fund

In the Department of Languages, Cultures & Applied Linguistics (LCAL), we believe learning extends beyond the classroom. Studying, volunteering or working abroad transforms students’ language skills, cultural understanding and career readiness.

We guarantee study abroad scholarships for every LCAL major and strive to make these global experiences accessible to all students interested in our programs abroad. Your support on Giving CMU Day will help fund student study abroad and internships, expand global partnerships and open doors to transformative experiences that last a lifetime.

“I really appreciate how beautiful Monteverde is and the unique experience of being in such a rich environment. Working on a community-based project showed me how language can connect people and create real impact.”
