These fellowships may only be awarded to US citizens or US permanent residents.
FLAS Fellowships are awarded for the 2-semester full academic year (no semester awards). Fellows must be enrolled in a language course and an East Asia-focused, non-language area studies course during each semester of the award period. ASC FLAS Fellowships are only given to students studying Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese at second-year level or above.. Factors that are important in the review of applicants include the overall quality of the student’s academic record, and the relevance of the FLAS Fellowship target language to the student’s plan of study.
In some cases, the Fellowship may be supplemented with funding from other sources. For students who have other sources of funding for the 2022-23 academic year, contact the Asian Studies Center before applying for this Fellowship. Undergraduate FLAS Fellowships will only be awarded for the study of Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
