I’ll grow programs that fund scholarships for critically important languages; and develop or expand similar programs for new skill areas such as data science.
Expand scholarships for critically important languages and new skill areas such as data science.

Evidence
Warren’s plan says it was released during her presidential campaign and framed the pledge as what she would do as president, including growing critical-language scholarship programs and expanding similar programs for data science.
Axios reported Warren suspended her 2020 presidential campaign after Super Tuesday and had failed to win a state.
The State Department CLS Program announced approximately 315 students selected for 2026 critical language awards from over 4,500 applicants.
GSA says the U.S. Digital Corps launched in August 2021 as a cross-government fellowship for early-career technology talent.
The Digital Corps describes a paid two-year fellowship with tracks including data science and analytics, software engineering, cybersecurity, design, and product management.
GSA announced 70 new Digital Corps fellows, five tracks including data science and analytics, and State Department work using research and analytics for consular services.
Assessments
The promise was framed as a Warren presidential-administration action, and Warren did not become president, so there was no full Warren-led implementation. The Critical Language Scholarship program continued, and the U.S. Digital Corps created federal early-career pathways including data science and analytics during the would-be 2021-2025 presidential term, with some State Department relevance. Those developments partially match the skills-pipeline concept, but they are fellowships or continuing programs rather than the promised scholarship expansion and are not shown as Warren-led.
