The European Studies undergraduate FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) is a Fellowship awarded to undergraduate students who are pursuing 1) European Studies coursework and 2) an approved modern foreign language at UT at the intermediate or advanced level.

Approved languages are: 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.

There are academic year and summer FLAS scholarships available. For more details and to download an application, go to the European Studies FLAS page.

Deadline is February 6, 2012.

Applications are now being accepted for merit-based, research and study abroad scholarships for spring 2012.

I’m pleased to announce that Headliners Foundation of Texas applications for the 2012-2013 school year have been posted. http://headlinersfoundation.org/scholarships

Students with an interest in journalism, communications, or media are encouraged to apply. Deadline is February 24th.

For those familiar with our scholarship program, you will notice that we have doubled our scholarship awards from $3,000 to $6,000 per year to better reflect the true cost of an education. The downside is that we are unable to offer as many scholarships as in the past. But in addition to these larger scholarships, we continue to offer a few smaller ones with specific designations as you will read online.

Headliners Foundation is one of the most prestigious scholarships in the state, not just because of the money awarded, but because of the recognition we provide. Students are invited to our awards luncheon in Austin each  fall. In addition, this year we will identify other ways to mentor our scholars throughout the year.
