NSEP Program Areas of Focus U.S. National Security Focus International Focus Language Study All study abroad programs do not offer the same opportunities to learn a language. The language component must incorporate opportunities to learn a language in a context that is meaningful to your language proficiency and language learning goals. You should take into account any prior knowledge and experience in the proposed language when selecting and designing your study abroad program. If you already have studied the language you should consider what opportunities the program will provide for you to advance your proficiency. If you have not studied the language, you should consider what the program offers you in opportunities to make substantial progress. The NSEP Service Requirement NSEP will be instituting a revised set of procedures that will assist award recipients in carefully documenting their job search history. NSEP will also be establishing a more formal review process to review an award recipient's request to fulfill the service requirement outside of the Departments of Defense, State, Homeland Security, or the Intelligence Community, as well requests for waiver of the service requirement.
