Show your support

Show your support by contributing to foreign languages study and foreign language students at Washington State University.

Foreign Languages & Cultures Development Fund
These funds provide much needed support to department and student programs and activities, growth opportunities, outreach events and programs, faculty and student travel and participation in professional conferences, and a wide range of daily necessities and operations that are not funded by the state or institution.

Foreign Languages & Cultures Special Fund
These funds support our undergrad and graduate students through stipend or scholarship. This account is building, but we hope to reach a useable size soon that will allow us to make our first awards to our deserving students.
