In order for your application to be considered complete, a language teacher who was your instructor in high school must send a letter of recommendation directly to contact@languageconnectsfoundation.org via email no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on May 31, 2024.
The letter must address the question: What can you tell us about this student's character, accomplishments, and abilities that makes you believe they'll be a great language educator?
Only one letter will be accepted. If you have not studied a language in high school but have met the eligibility requirements by presenting proficiency documentation from an ACTFL test, as outlined above, please submit a letter from another teacher who was your instructor in high school or from your school counselor, answering the same question.
