The Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships are designed to provide support and funding to graduate students studying the languages and cultures of specific foreign countries, in particular those in the strategic interest of the United States.
Individual universities hold their own competitions to determine the recipients for both summer and year-long grants. FLAS fellowships cover tuition plus a stipend. The stipends for 2007-2008 was $15,000 for an academic-year award and $2,500 for summer. Eligibility is limited to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
