Henry M. Jackson School of International
Studies
Undergraduate Foreign Language and Area
Studies (FLAS) Application
Deadline: 12:01am, January 19, 2011
The online application will close at precisely 12:01:00am on January 19, 2011. Please do not

General Information
FLAS Undergraduate Fellowships are administered by the Henry M. Jackson School of
International Studies National Resource Centers, in coordination with the Office of Merit
Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards, under a grant from the United States Department of
Education.
The Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program's mission is to meet the
national needs for expertise and competence in foreign language and area or international
studies.
Each of the National Resource Centers offers FLAS Fellowships in languages relevant to each
center's focus. The centers offering undergraduate fellowships, and their relevant languages, are:







East Asia Center: Chinese, Japanese, Korean
Center for Global Studies: Arabic, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi,
Indonesian/Malay, Kazakh, Korean, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Tagalog,
Thai, Turkish, Uighur, Vietnamese
Middle East Studies Center: Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Turkish
Russia, East Europe, Central Asia Studies (REECAS/Ellison Center):
Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Kazakh, Latvian, Lithuanian,
Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Tajik, Uyghur (Uighur), Uzbek
South Asian Studies Center: Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Persian
Southeast Asian Studies Center: Burmese, Filipino/Tagalog, Indonesian, Thai,
Vietnamese,
Center for West European Studies: *Danish, *Estonian, Finnish, Italian, *Latvian,
*Lithuanian, Norwegian, Portuguese, *Swedish, Turkish. * Indicates the language is
unlikely to be taught at the UW in the summer.
Applicants may apply for FLAS funding for more than one language, or for a language offered
by more than one center, but must submit a separate and complete application for each center.
(NOTE: Only one complete set of three recommendation letters is necessary no matter how
many centers you are applying to. You may include more letters, but note that all letters will be
attached to all applications.)
Understanding the focus of each center and the relevance of the languages offered to that focus is
important to developing a strong application. For example, the Center for West European Studies
offers support for the study of Turkish, but its focus would be on Turkish as it is used within
Western Europe, not Turkey. The Middle East Center offers Turkish, and its focus would be the
use of Turkish in Turkey, not Western Europe. So choosing which center to apply to is driven by
your language and the focus for your studies.
FLAS Awards and Benefits

following FLAS Fellowship options from any and all of the centers listed above:

Selection Process and Criteria
All application materials must be received by the 12:01:00am, January 19, 2011 deadline. Each
National Resource Center will convene a Fellowship Review Committees composed of UW
faculty and staff to review all complete applications submitted to that center.
Review committees will be looking for applicants to demonstrate their commitment to studying
and using the language now and in the future, their motivation and ability to reach advanced skill
levels, and a clear articulation of how the language study is linked to future professional goals.
Based upon instructions from the Department of Education, the Fellowship Review Committees
assign competitive preference to applications based upon the following principles:
1. Priority will be given to applicants who are most likely to enter a professional field or
pursue government service.
2. Preference is given to students who will study less-commonly taught languages.
3. Preference is given to applicants who show potential in meeting critical national security
needs.
4. Applicants who have achieved native reading and writing fluency in the target language
are not eligible.
We hope to be able to notify applicants of results by late March.
Please continue on to the next page to complete the online application form.

If you are applying for an academic year award...
During the academic year, does your application propose formal language and area/international
studies abroad, rather than at UW? [Note: FLAS academic year awards are intended to support
study at UW only, not abroad. Please consult with Robin Chang in the Office of Merit
Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards (robinc@uw.edu, 206-543-2603) before proposing any

priority.

drop down menu.
Required.
Question 55.
In which language courses will you enroll during your fellowship?


For UW courses, please enter specific UW courses as listed in the Time Schedule, e.g.,
"HEBR 421-23;" "RUSS 350". (Prospective UW students may enter either the specific
UW courses or a descriptive phrase, e.g. "Intermediate Arabic".)
For summer courses proposed at other institutions, you may use more descriptive phrases
(e.g., "intermediate Arabic").
Required.
Question 56.
In which area studies or international courses will you enroll during your fellowship (academic
year awards only)? Please enter specific UW courses, e.g., "SISME 420: International
Humanitarian Law, SIS 425: International Arms Control, and HIST 463: Middle East since
1789". (Prospective UW students should consult UW course listings for the coming academic
year to identify appropriate courses.)
Question 57.
Summer applicants only: Indicate where you will study.

If you check "Study abroad program" please write in the country and name of the
program. Note: Prior approval of the U.S. Department of Education is required for all
FLAS awards to be used abroad. This approval is requested through the University’s
FLAS fellowship coordinator after an award has been made.

Your proposal must meet the requirements described in the Guidelines/Summer FLAS
Fellowships (program must be a minimum of 6 weeks long, with at least 140
classroom hours at the intermediate level, or at least 120 classroom hours at the
advanced level).

If you are proposing to study at another U.S. institution or abroad, it is highly
recommended that you identify some alternative programs to the one you propose in
this application. This will ensure that you have a fall-back plan in the event your
proposed program gets canceled, you aren't accepted into the program, or some other
event prevents you from participating in the proposed program.

Please remember that you must apply separately to any non-UW summer intensive
study program, and meet that program's application deadline and requirements.
Some program deadlines will be earlier than the deadline for this FLAS application.
