Location: UCIS Conference Room at 223 E. Franklin Street

Seeking funding to study less commonly taught languages and area studies? Each Fall, the National Resource Centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University hold a Foreign Language Area Studies competition for graduate students (and with approval, faculty) to pursue foreign language and area studies for professional purposes. FLAS funds are from the US Department of Education and are intended to support second language acquisition among US professionals.

FLAS funds are non-service awards providing fellows with a stipend of $14,000 (AY) or $2400 (summer) and full payment of tuition and fees. Grants are administered by the Center for European Studies, Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies, Institute of Latin American Studies, South Asian Studies, and the University Center for International Studies. For more information, stop by this information session. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to attend one of the two workshops prior to contacting FLAS coordinators.
