Each year, the Columbia University East Asia National Resource Center makes a number of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships available to eligible undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students at Columbia and its affiliated institutions. These federally funded fellowships are designed to provide financial support to students who are pursuing training in modern foreign languages and related area studies and are available for both academic year and summer study.
Interested students must submit a separate application through the GSAS Fellowships Application Portal. For more information about FLAS application and eligibility requirements, click the link above or visit Columbia Graduate School of Arts and Science's summer FLAS, academic year FLAS, and FLAS FAQs pages.
Applications for Summer 2022 and Academic Year 2022-2023 FLAS fellowships are now closed.
IMPORTANT: The availability of FLAS funds for AY 2022-2023 is NOT GUARANTEED. We expect that the U.S. Department of Education will announce the availability of funds in the Spring or early Summer of 2022. You will be notified of the AY 22-23 FLAS competition results as soon as funding has been guaranteed.
