Foreign Language & Area Studies (FLAS) Summer Fellowship
The U.S. Department of Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program provides summer fellowships to institutions of higher education. The grant to GW, written by the Institute for Middle East Studies and the Sigur Center for Asian Studies, assists graduate (M.A. and Ph.D.), professional students (J.D., MPH, DrPH, MBA and M.D.), and undergraduate students to further language study and area/international studies. The Summer FLAS fellowships are intended to help students gain the equivalent of a year’s worth of college-level language study. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
Note: FLAS fellows may travel to any country that the State Department has listed as Level 1 or 2. Level 3 countries will be reviewed on a case by case basis. For countries like Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, and Israel, approval will depend on where in the country the fellow wants to study. Applicants should check the State Department’s website periodically and have an alternative country in case a designation changes or the country is not approved. FLAS fellows are not allowed to travel to any country that the State Department has listed as a Level 4.
