The Center for Global Studies is pleased to announce the competition for FLAS Fellowships for the Pennsylvania State University for Summer 2016 and Academic Year 2016-2017.  FLAS Fellowships are authorized under Title VI of the Higher Education Act and are administered by the U.S. Department of Education.  They assist undergraduate and graduate students in achieving competency in select foreign languages and conducting research in related international and area studies.

Students in all fields of study are welcome to apply.   Languages eligible for Penn State’s FLAS Fellowships are Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and Russian. Evaluation of applications will begin on February 01, 2016, but all applications will be considered until funds are fully allocated.
