"The fellowship focuses on language learning, and I'm in the intensive Japanese language program at Ritsumeikan University where I take Japanese courses daily," said Crawford. "After completing study abroad, the second part of the fellowship includes using the skills I learned to serve in a US government position related to national security."

"I am in the African flagship language initiative with two months of Kiswahili language study at the University of Florida and four months of Kiswahili language study near Arusha, Tanzania," said Bouchelle. "I will collaborate with an NGO to study sports-based youth development for girls, and then work with the federal government on international education programming."
