State Seals of Biliteracy are official recognitions of high school graduates in the United States who have demonstrated high levels of proficiency in at least one language other than English.
Attainment of a Seal can serve as a testament to a student's linguistic and intercultural competence. This award program helps students expand their employment possibilities and enhance their college applications. In some states, award recipients earn free college credit.
Policies and rules regarding the Seal differ by state. This website provides necessary tools and information to students, parents, educators, and employers to navigate state programs. The goal is to spread awareness of the Seal and to foster greater equity and access to this award nationwide.
