Fellowship Requirements
Fellowship recipients will be required to meet the following conditions throughout the entire period of the fellowship:
- Registration: Undergraduate Academic Year FLAS Fellowship recipients must be registered full time (at least 12 credit hours) during the fall and winter terms.
- Course Selection: Undergraduate Academic Year FLAS Fellowship recipients must be enrolled in an academic program of modern language and related area and/or international studies, or international aspects of professional training for both the fall and winter terms. FLAS Fellows must enroll in the required language course and the required area studies course in both fall and winter terms. Specific instructions will be given by the Area Studies Center with the award letter. Fellowship recipients who fail to meet the enrollment requirements for the minimum language level (e.g. successful completion of prerequisite courses or minimum score on a placement test) will have their fellowships cancelled.
- Deferral: A FLAS Fellowship is tenable only for the year which it is awarded. It cannot be deferred to a future year. All students must reapply each year.
- Working during the Fellowship Period: Since the purpose of the FLAS Fellowship is to provide students funding to concentrate on language study and international/area studies, fellowship recipients will be limited on the number of hours they are allowed to work during the fellowship period. Federal Work/Study awarded through the Office of Financial Aid is generally allowed. Prior approval from the Area Studies Center must be obtained for any work, including Work/Study.
- Proficiency Evaluation: FLAS Fellowship recipients must complete any language proficiency evaluations at the beginning and end of their fellowship terms as required by US/ED and the Area Studies Center.
- Reporting: FLAS Fellowship recipients must comply with all reporting requirements of US/ED and the Area Studies Center.
- Post-fellowship Surveys: FLAS Fellowship recipients are required to complete a survey regarding their career paths for a period of time following the completion of their fellowship and graduation in accordance with US/ED requirements.
