Around April of this year, I had a friend recommend to me the Lithuanian State Scholarship Program. Essentially, this program pays for you to stay a month in Lithuania and learn language classes while enjoying cultural outings. I applied, I got in, and I had an experience I will never forget!
I encourage all interested parties to apply for this scholarship! http://www.smpf.lt/en/statescholarships
