Looking to fund your Turkish, Persian, or Arabic language study this summer?
The IRIS National Resource Center’s second FLAS competition for Summer 2019 is still currently accepting applications. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, 2019.
Because the initial application has closed, you will need to do the following to submit an application:
– Go to the FLAS website (https://flas.wisc.edu/) and click on “Applicants can check on the status of their application here.”
– Log in as either a UW-Madison user or a non UW-Madison user to create a new application.
– Select the following competition: “IRIS Summer 2019 Supplemental” and complete the application process.
Languages: Arabic, Indonesian, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Swahili, Turkish.
Students enrolled in degree programs at institutions other than UW are welcome to apply for Summer FLAS awards for language programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Undergraduate students may not apply for a FLAS at the beginning level of language study; undergraduate students must be applying to study at the intermediate (2nd year) or advanced (3rd year or above) level of a less commonly taught language to receive a fellowship.
Graduate students might be granted an exception to allow study of the beginning level of a less commonly taught language with FLAS support if the student has achieved advanced proficiency in another language of the world area of specialization, and if learning a second language of that world area is required for the student’s overall training and expertise. Graduate students who are applying for beginning language study will need to explain why an exception should be granted as part of their application.
