IU has received new grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education that will allow us to make up to five academic year FLAS (Foreign Language and Area Studies) fellowship awards to IU undergraduate students.
Eligibility requirements:
1) U.S. citizen or permanent resident
2) Enrollment at intermediate level or higher (second-year level or higher) for both semesters of the 2010-11 academic year in one of the following languages: Arabic, Modern Hebrew, Kurmanji
Kurdish, Sorani Kurdish, Turkish, Persian, Urdu, Bengali, Dari, Pashto
Terms of award:
Stipend of $5,000 plus up to $10,000 toward tuition expenses for a maximum of $15,000 award. Note that late receipt of a FLAS award will be counted against student's eligibility for other types of financial aid already processed by the IU Office of Student Financial Assistance and may result in a reduction of other aid previously offered for the 2010-11 academic year.
Deadline: August 18, 2010
