"I'd recommend SLIYS to anyone interested in language, because this program is great. You learn so much about your language and other writing and sound systems."

Grade Requirements
SLIYS is open to high school students who will be freshman, sophomores, juniors, or seniors (grades 9-12) in the upcoming school year (i.e.
2012-2013). This typically corresponds to the ages of 14-18.
Academic Requirements
Admission to the SLIYS program is competitive. While there are no strict GPA requirements, a 3.0 or better overall GPA is recommended.
Students with Physical Disabilities
The organizers of SLIYS are committed to making the program available to all eligible students. In no way should a student be discouraged from applying because of a physical disability. Any student who needs special accommodations due to a physical disability should indicate this on their application, though this is for information purposes only and will not be used to evaluate the application.
