FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND AREA STUDIES (FLAS) FELLOWSHIPS

Syracuse University's Center for European Studies announces its FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) Fellowship Competition for Summer 2009 and Academic Year 2009-2010. 

We request proposals from qualified graduate students who wish to enhance their knowledge of a European language to complement their current program of study. 

IMPORTANT: Only US citizens and permanent residents who are full time graduate students are eligible.

SUMMER FELLOWSHIPS:

Summer 2009 fellowships provide for tuition up to $4,000 and a stipend of $2,500 for intensive (6-8 weeks) study abroad at the intermediate or advanced level in any European language or at a qualifying US summer school (i.e. Middlebury) for beginning language training.  Summer fellowships are also available to qualifying students at other universites.
