Global Scholar Program Receives Community Grant
Friday, November 21, 2025
The Indiana Academy’s Global Scholar Certificate Program received the Indiana Language Roadmap Community Grant this year from the U.S. Department of Defense’s National Security Education Program to continue to promote international education at the Academy.
The Indiana Language Roadmap provides world language instruction and training in global skills for Indiana residents and is housed in the Center for the Study for Global Change at Indiana University in Bloomington.
The grant was used in the International Fest project where Global Scholar Certificate participants are paired with an international student to showcase their country and culture. The project’s objective was to provide a hands-on learning experience for students who are interested in learning about the world and to allow Global Scholar Certificate participants to execute their country projects more effectively. The grant also funded t-shirts to help our international program promote international cultures and the Global Scholar Certificate Program.
The Global Scholar Certificate Program is a non-academic program that is offered to students to engage beyond the classroom. Forty-five students currently participate in the Global Scholar Certificate Program at the Academy. Students presented a country and culture of their choice at the International Festival on November 18 as a part of International Education Week.
The International Fest was designed to celebrate different global cultures and is hosted by Academy students.
