Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships assist students in acquiring competence in foreign languages as well as a fuller understanding of the regions and countries in which those languages are commonly used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Krieger School’s undergraduate International Studies Program on the Homewood campus and the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC are approved by the U.S. Department of Education to award FLAS fellowships to eligible Krieger and SAIS students studying the languages listed below. Fellowships may also be awarded to students studying other languages on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please Note: <\/strong>the availability of instruction in a given foreign language is subject to change without notice. The cancellation or postponement of language courses may affect a student\u2019s eligibility for a FLAS fellowship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two types of FLAS fellowships: academic year and summer intensive. Academic year fellowships are designed to allow students to pursue language and international studies on a full-time basis during the regular academic year. These fellowships provide tuition and stipend support. (Note<\/strong>: in some cases FLAS funding may replace other forms of financial aid.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The FLAS Academic Year grant amounts are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer FLAS fellowships are to be used for intensive language training at other institutions in the United States or abroad, and the training must provide the equivalent of a full academic year of instruction and be at least six weeks in duration. These fellowships offer up to $5,000 of tuition coverage and $3,500 of stipend funding per award to cover travel and living expenses. <\/span>Only Homewood students are eligible to apply for summer FLAS fellowships<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Academic year FLAS fellows must take one graded FLAS-approved language course and one graded area studies course per semester. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer FLAS fellows must enroll in an established intensive language program that is at least six weeks in duration and that requires a minimum of 140 instructional hours for students at the intermediate level or 120 instructional hours for students at the advanced level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All FLAS fellows must complete online reports as requested by the International Studies Program at Homewood, SAIS, and the U.S. Department of Education. Failure to submit these reports or failure to submit them on time precludes future participation in the program and may result in a forfeiture of funds received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
