About Project GO
The U.S. military needs future military officers who possess the necessary critical language and cross-cultural communication skills required for effective leadership in the 21st-century operational environment. Project GO is an initiative sponsored by the Defense Language and National Security Education Office and administered by the Institute of International Education.
As part of the Project GO Program, the University of Maryland will offer innovative, intensive domestic and overseas language instruction to ROTC students from a nationwide audience with the goal of helping students to reach an Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) 1 proficiency level in Arabic. Accepted students receive full scholarships for participation in these programs.
