Grants may be applied to tuition, room and board at summer language programs, and toward expenses to hire tutors for specialized, advanced language training. Priority is given to students who must undertake summer language study to meet specific degree requirements.

Reports must be accompanied by itemized original receipts for expenses covered by the grant. Detailed requirements on reporting are provided in award letters. Accepting a CEAS Summer Language Mini Grant obligates one to fulfill these requirements.
