Each year, the US Department of Education awards Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) funding to Area Studies Centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. FLAS funds are awarded in a competitive process open to graduate students to pursue foreign language and area studies for professional purposes. FLAS funds are intended to support high-level second language acquisition among US professionals. FLAS funds are non-service awards providing fellows with a stipend of $15,000 (academic year) or $2,500 (summer) and payment of tuition and fees.
