 Scholarships)
U.S. Department of Education scholarships encourage the study of specific underrepresented languages. Students must plan to use the language in their future career.
There are two types of FLAS scholarships. Academic Year Scholarships are for studying one language course and one area studies course during fall semester and one language course and one area studies course during winter semester (four total classes for the academic year).
Summer Scholarships are for studying the language intensively (120–140 classroom hours) in an overseas setting for a duration of at least six weeks.
