If summer fellowships are issued, they will be for a summer session in which the equivalent of an academic year's foreign language study is completed. Payments are made by the grantee institution. Funds may be used for instructional costs of language and area and international studies programs, administration, lectures, conferences, library resources and staff, outreach, and travel. All programs must provide performance reports upon completion of each year's budget period and a final report of project accomplishments at the end of the grant. Financial reports are also required.
Performance reports from fellowship award recipients at the end of each award period.
Fiscal records of institutions administering fellowship funds will be subject to audit by the Department at any time within 5 years after the close of the fiscal year in which grant funds are all spent.
