A standardized FLAS application has been developed and is available from the Center. The application is available on the Internet. In addition to the application, students must also provide academic transcripts and statements describing how the proposed language study fits in with their overall course of study and career goals, and their research project. Eligibility is limited to graduate students who are US citizens or permanent residents. Summer awards are for intensive language training only.
Overseas awards are for advanced and intermediate levels.
Priority will be given to the non-Russian languages of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and higher levels of training, as well as the distribution of awards among a diverse range of disciplines. This is a wonderful opportunity for language study and should not be missed. All graduate students studying Russian or an East European language are encouraged to apply.
