Language Immersion to improve 
You don’t need to be fluent in the other language to have this experience, but the implication is that you are traveling to improve your knowledge and have a desire to learn and spend time immersed in the language and culture. 

Possible Financial Support

Servas is driven to have young people travel internationally, and here in the USA, we've set up a few grants/scholarships for our under-30 members who are willing to help us spread the word about Servas, SYLE, and cultural exchange and understanding.

✤ The Mogerman Scholarship

Long-time Servas member and past Board Chair, Dennis Mogerman, is offering SYLE scholarships to members who qualify and are willing to commit to a strong 'marketing campaign' report during and after the experience.

Two (2) $1,000 scholarships are available annually for US Residents who plan to study a language other than English through SYLE (up to $1,000 per applicant). 

Once the SYLE application and Scholarship request have been approved (and airline and hosting arrangements have been made), the first half of the scholarship reimbursement will be sent to the recipient ($500).  

Article and photos must be submitted within six weeks of the trip. 

The second half of the scholarship will be awarded after the completion of the SYLE, post trip reports, and above-mentioned article and photos.

✤ US Servas Board Grants

Ten (10) different $500 grants are available to members under 30 who are interested in pursuing a SYLE and helping promote Servas via social media. Financial standing will be considered, as we want to help those who need the help.
