Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship
These competitive fellowships, funded through the Title VI program of the U.S. Department of Education, are awarded to current and incoming University graduate and professional school students, whose work is focused on Southeast Asia, for the study of Filipino, Indonesian, Thai, or Vietnamese. Fellowship recipients are expected to enroll in language and area studies courses. An academic year FLAS provides full tuition and a stipend of $15,000. A summer FLAS provides tuition and a stipend of $2500. All FLAS awards are contingent upon continued funding through the U.S. Department of Education.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are or will be enrolled in full-time degree programs at the University.
Application Procedures:
Application packets are available at the Center or at the link above. In addition to the form, submit:
- Statement of Purpose
- CV (Curriculum vita)
- Two letters of reference on the Academic Report forms
- Language Report form
- Official transcripts from all institutions attended
- GRE, GMAT, or LSAT scores
- Students who are planning to take an advanced language course to fulfill the FLAS language requirement must also include a letter of agreement from the instructor teaching the course. This letter should express the instructor's commitment to cover the language for no less than three (3) credit hours per week. Without this letter, your application will not be considered complete and will not be reviewed.
For MA Applicants:
Your MA application materials will be used to accompany your FLAS application as well, so you do not need to sumbit extra copies of your transcripts, GRE scores, Statement of Purpose, and Recommendation letters for consideration in the FLAS competition.
The Southeast Asia Academic Committee, comprised of Southeast Asia faculty associates, reviews all materials and makes awards.
