Where
The FLAS Fellowship is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI Grant. We seek to support graduate and undergraduate students whose academic program and/or career objectives focus on Latin America and who can demonstrate the value of language training to their studies and/or career.
Candidates from all departments and professional schools are encouraged to apply.
To apply for the fellowship, you must:
* Be enrolled as a student full time in a department or school at the University of Arizona that combines modern foreign language training with area studies or with the international aspects of professional, or other fields of study.
* Be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident alien.
* Have a GPA of at least 3.0
* Have completed the equivalent of at least one year of a Latin America language, or two years of any other language and received grades of ‘B’ or higher.
* Be willing to complete the FLAS online evaluation report at the end of the fellowship period and every two years for the next eight years.
* For summer awards, you must be returning to the UA campus for classes the semester following your summer abroad.
* For academic year awards, you must complete one foreign language and one Latin American Studies 3-unit course each semester during the fellowship, in conjunction with your other graduate coursework.
Note: An applicant is ineligible for a FLAS award if they receive a grade lower than a B in the target language during the year of study prior to their FLAS fellowship.
