There is also a scholarship specifically for Madison College students, called the Madison Gateway Scholarship. The Madison Gateway Scholarship application is open to any currently enrolled Madison Area Technical College (MATC) student applying to the Arabic, Persian, and Turkish Language Institute (APTLI). The scholarship covers full APTLI tuition to study Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Turkish language at any level. The Madison Gateway Scholarship was created with the goal of increasing Less Commonly Taught Language (LCTL) learning for people of underserved populations, and create a pathway for success for MATC language students to attend APTLI. For Summer 2022, 2-4 full APTLI tuition student awards are available. The application deadline is March 15.

Each summer around 200 undergraduate students, graduate students, professionals, and others come to UW-Madison to study a language at the Wisconsin Intensive Summer Language Institutes (WISLI).  WISLI is host to five summer language institutes which offer high-quality courses in 30 less commonly taught languages:

Arabic, Persian, & Turkish Language Institute (APTLI)

Central Eurasian Studies Summer Institute (CESSI)
