FLAS Fellowships are offered for Summer 2013 and Academic-Year 2013-2014

Academic-Year FLAS: 2013-2014

What is the undergraduate Academic Year FLAS?
The European Studies undergraduate FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) is a Fellowship awarded to undergraduate students who are pursuing 1) coursework with a European focus and 2) an approved modern foreign language at UT at the intermediate or advanced level. The Fellowship is interdisciplinary and open to students from all departments and schools at UT. Students do not need to be European Studies majors to apply.

What does the Fellowship provide?
The FLAS AY Undergraduate Fellowship provides a nine-month stipend of $5,000(paid monthly September-May) plus tuition and required course-related fees up to $10,000 per academic year. Tuition and fees are covered up to 15 hours per semester. The remaining tuition bill is the responsibility of the student.

What languages qualify as “approved” foreign languages?
Czech, Danish, Dutch, Modern Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese*, Serbian/Croatian or Swedish. (English, French, German, and Spanish are not approved languages for this undergraduate fellowship.) We also strongly encourage students studying non-European languages-such as Arabic, Persian, Hindi, Russian, and Turkish-to apply for FLAS fellowships when a contemporary application of those language skills will significantly enhance their work as distinctly European Studies scholars. Students may NOT be native speakers of the language nor possess fluency equivalent to educated native speakers in the language for which the award is sought.

*Please note that students interested in Brazilian Portuguese should apply through the Teresa Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies.
