Graduate Academic-Year East Asia FLAS Fellowships

Department of Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships provide tuition and stipend for students in M.A. or Ph.D. programs who plan to undertake intensive language study in Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, Tibetan, or Vietnamese during the academic year, either at Stanford or an approved overseas institution, in conjunction with area studies courses. Students must enroll in both language and area-studies courses during the entire period of award, as well as complete specific testing and reporting requirements. Language courses should be at the intermediate level (2nd year) or higher, but preference is given to students pursuing advanced language training (3rd year or higher); first-year language courses may be considered in rare cases where applicants have already attained advanced proficiency in one language and the second language is necessary to fulfill degree requirements. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents to apply. Grants subject to final approval from the Department of Education.
