consortia of IHEs to establish, 

strengthen, and operate comprehensive 

and undergraduate foreign language and

These centers serve as centers of 

excellence for world language training 

and teaching, research, and instruction 

in fields needed to provide full 

understanding of areas, regions, or 

countries where the languages are 

commonly used. 

The FLAS Fellowship Program 

awards allocations of fellowships, 

through institutions of higher education, 

to meritorious students enrolled in 

programs that offer performance-based 

instruction in world languages in 

combination with area studies, 

international studies, or the
