CLP grants provide funding for projects that enhance Mandarin and Arabic learning programs in the United States as well as the teaching of English as a Foreign Language in the home countries of international alumni. These projects may range from $500 to $3,000 and are designed to complement TCLP goals by providing funding for alumni activities that increase capacity building and collaborative ideas for teaching and classroom projects. Critical Language Project grants promote mutual understanding and productive and lasting relationships between program alumni in the U.S., China, and Egypt. The CLP application and abstracts of previously approved grants are available on the Alumni Resources page of the TCLP website. To be considered for funding, CLP applications must be submitted no later than May 31, 2014.
