FLAS fellowships are funded by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by UW-Madison’s National Resource Centers to assist students in acquiring foreign language and either area or international studies competencies. FLAS awards are only available for specific languages, and are contingent on federal funding.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Students in professional fields are encouraged to apply. Preference will be given to applicants with a high level of academic ability and with previous language training.
Summer awards are for intensive language programs either domestically or abroad. Details on minimum contact hours and duration of allowable summer programs are outlined on the FLAS FAQ page.
Additional details about FLAS at UW-Madison are available on the FLAS FAQ page, by contacting awards@iris.wisc.edu, and from the appropriate FLAS coordinators.
