Students are invited to attend upcoming information sessions & open houses to learn more about Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) awards for the study of critical and less commonly taught languages at UW-Madison.
FLAS fellowships are funded by the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the UW’s area & international studies centers to assist students in acquiring foreign language and area or international studies competencies.
The application for Summer 2018 and Academic Year 2018-2019 FLAS awards is now open!
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Applications by students in professional fields are encouraged.
