Area Studies Centers award summer FLAS fellowships

The East Asian Studies Center, Center for Latin American Studies and Center for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies have awarded $146,494 in summer Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships to 18 students, spanning more than nine graduate programs and six undergraduate majors. Funding for FLAS Fellowships comes from the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act.

This summer’s FLAS fellowships support the development of area studies knowledge and language fluency in nine languages. View a list of Ohio State's 18 recipients.


Summer FLAS Fellows complete the equivalent of a full year of language study in an intensive program (usually 6-10 weeks long). The fellowship covers up to $5,000 of the language program’s tuition, provides a $3,500 stipend, and in some instances, up to $1,000 towards travel.
