Show your support by contributing to the study of foreign languages and cultures and foreign language and cultures 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 it soon reaches a size that will allow us to make our first awards to our deserving students.
