Foreign Language and Area Fellowships (FLAS)
A number of FLAS fellowships to graduate students will be available through the REEI to
study the following languages: Russian, Albanian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian,
Czech, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, Romanian, Ukrainian, and Georgian, and through IAUNRC to study:
Azeri, Hungarian, Kazakh, Mongolian, Pashto, Tajik, Turkmen, Uyghur
and Uzbek. IAUNRC is authorized to grant FLAS awards for the study of Pashto in SWSEEL. However, because the IAUNRC region does not include Afghanistan, priority for FLAS awards will be given to the other IAUNRC languages. Thus, the likelihood of the FLAS award to study Pashto in SWSEEL is very low.
To be eligible for a FLAS award you must:
- be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident
- be currently enrolled in a graduate program or accepted for graduate enrollment for fall 2008
- have completed at least two years of formal study of the language, if applying for Russian; those studying any of the other languages listed above need no prior study to be eligible.
FLAS fellowships cover tuition costs and provide an estimated allowance of $2,500 for food and housing.
The application deadline for Fellowships is March 21. Decisions on FLAS fellowships are made in late-April.
PLEASE NOTE: to minimize paperwork, only recipients of fellowships and
alternates will receive formal notification. Fellowship assistance is
available only to students in the 8-week session.
If you wish to apply for a FLAS or SSRC fellowship, you must check
the appropriate box on the application form (indicate FLAS, SSRC, or both)
and submit a full set of transcripts and two or three letters of recommendation
(see the application form for details).
Social Science Research Council (SSRC)
Fellowships
SSRC fellowship funds are available on a competitive basis for both graduates and undergraduates to study Russian and Georgian. Graduates, undergraduates, and non-students are eligible for the SSRC fellowship in the following languages of the former Soviet Union and Central Asia: Azerbaijani, Kazakh, Tajik, Turkmen, Uyghur, and Uzbek. To be eligible for an SSRC award you must:
- be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
- Applicants in Russian must have completed at least two years of formal study of the language
- those studying any of the other languages listed above need no prior study to be eligible
SSRC fellowships have ranged from $2,500 to $3,100.
The application deadline for Fellowships is March 21. Decisions on SSRC fellowships are made in late-April.
PLEASE NOTE: to minimize paperwork, only recipients of fellowships and alternates will receive formal notification. Fellowship assistance is available only to students in the 8-week session.
The Social Science Research Council is clear in its insistence that SSRC fellowships be granted only to students in third year Russian (levels 5-9) or above.
If you wish to apply for a FLAS or SSRC fellowship, you must check the appropriate box on the application form (indicate FLAS, SSRC, or both) and submit a full set of transcripts and two or three letters of recommendation (see the application form for details).
American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS)
For summer 2008, ACLS has funded the teaching of first year Albanian, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, and Macedonian.
If you wish to be considered for a fee remission in these languages you must check the appropriate box on the application page.
ACLS Individual East European Language
Training Grants
For the study of East European languages, students may apply for an ‘Individual East European Language Training Grant,’ directly through ACLS. Grants are up to $2500 each for summer study of beginning, intermediate, or advanced Albanian, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, or Romanian. These awards are intended for people who will use these languages in academic research or teaching. The deadline is January 16th for summer 2008. The application should specify the name of the institution they wish to attend, along with a statement of the significance of this training for their career plans. For eligibility and application information visit: http://www.acls.org/seguide.htm#langindividual or http://www.acls.org/.
Foreign Language Enhancement Program (FLEP)
scholarships
Offered through the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), FLEP provides scholarships of up to $2,000 to help graduate students from CIC schools (University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, University of Michigan, Michigan State, Indiana University, Northwestern University, University of Minnesota, Ohio State University, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University and University of Wisconsin-Madison) take advantage of language offerings not available at their home university. Students from these schools may use a FLEP scholarship to take language offerings at the Summer Workshop. In past summers a substantial number of graduate students from CIC institutions have enrolled in langauges offered by the Summer Workshop. For eligibility and application information visit: www.cic.uiuc.edu/programs/flep
European Union Center of Excellence (EUCE) Fellowships
The Indiana University European Union Center of Excellence is offering €2000 fellowships for summer study of the following EU and EU-accession languages offered by the Summer Workshop: Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Czech, Hungarian, Macedonian, Polish, and Romanian.
Graduate students with an interest in issues of applied EU and transatlantic public policy and those desiring language training before embarking on field research or a professional internship in the EU are eligible to apply.
In their online fellowship application applicants should indicate their interest in EU policy studies and relevance of language study.
Both U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens (regardless of resident status) currently enrolled in a graduate program at a U.S. college or university are eligible to apply for these fellowships.
Non-U.S. citizens without “permanent resident” status should check the appropriate EUCE box on the application and submit a full set of transcripts and two (or three) letters of recommendation (see the application form for details).
Because these fellowships do not cover all expenses, U.S. citizens and
permanent residents are encouraged to apply for additional fellowships
for which they may be eligible by checking the “All Available”
box on the application and submitting a full set of transcripts and two
(or three) letters of recommendation (see the
application
form for details).
For Indiana University students the priority submission date to apply for student loans is March 1. We encourage you to explore the various options for need-based financial aid through the Office of Student Financial Aid (OSFA). Other students must apply for student loans at their own schools.
