NOTE: the U.S. Department of Education discontinued the FLAS program in 2025. This page is for informational use only.
The Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program is the flagship funding source for the study of Southeast Asian languages and area studies at the University of Washington.
FLAS Fellowships support undergraduate, graduate and professional students in acquiring modern foreign languages and area or international studies competencies. Students from all programs and departments are encouraged to apply. FLAS Fellowships are available to US citizens and permanent residents.
Contingent on funding from the US Department of Education, the Center for Southeast Asia & Its Diasporas annually offers Academic Year and Summer FLAS Fellowships in Burmese, Indonesian, Khmer, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese.
