Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships
Title VI Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships are awarded to universities in order to promote the graduate training of students who intend to make their careers in college or university teaching, government service, or other employment where knowledge of foreign cultures is a prerequisite for success. Only US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for FLAS fellowships.
1. Academic Year FLAS:
Each fellowship covers the academic year and carries a stipend. In addition, the fellowship provides a fee remission for up to 12 credits of coursework each semester (a total of 24 credits). Recipients of FLAS fellowships must undertake full-time study during the period of the award and be enrolled in formal instruction in the language of the award.
IAUNRC accepts applications for the study of the following languages in the 2007-2008 academic year: Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Kazakh, Mongolian, Persian/Tajik, Turkish, Uzbek, and Uyghur. If you wish to take level three or beyond of a language not offered in the regular IU schedule of classes, you may apply for the Advanced Directed Language Study.
