Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships provide funding to students to encourage the study of critical and less commonly taught foreign languages in combination with area studies, international studies or international aspects of professional studies. These fellowships are funded
with grants from the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, and the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008. The purpose of the FLAS program is to promote the training of students who intend to make their careers in college or
university teaching, government service, or other employment where knowledge of foreign languages and cultures is essential. Students in programs that combine modern language training with 1) area or
international studies, or 2) research and training in the international aspects of professional and other fields of study are eligible to apply. This includes undergraduate and graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, professional fields as well as the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. At UC Berkeley, funding for FLAS Fellowships is provided by seven Title VI
National Resource Centers representing various world areas, including: Africa, East Asia, Eastern Europe/Russia/Eurasia, Latin America, Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
