Overview
The University of Florida's Center for European Studies (CES) anticipates awarding Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships for academic year 2010-11. These fellowships are funded by the US Department of Education (USDOE) under Title VI of the Higher Education Act. Fellowships are awarded to students combining graduate or undergraduate work in an academic discipline with European area and language studies.
While the competition will run as scheduled and top-ranked candidates will be promptly notified of the potential for receiving a FLAS, letters of award and appointment will not be issued until formal confirmation of funding for the program is received from the USDOE (probably July 2010 at the earliest).
Requirements
The Center for European Studies (CES) awards annual Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships, which are funded by the US Department of Education (USDOE) under Title VI of the Higher Education Act.
Students applying for an academic year fellowship and for a summer intensive fellowship must submit two separate applications. Applicants must be currently enrolled or accepted to a degree program at the University of Florida, either as a graduate or undergraduate student, in a disciplinary department of their choice.
Fellowships are offered for any one of the lesser and least commonly taught European languages:
Czech, Hungarian, Italian, Modern Greek, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish
Only undergraduate students pursuing language study at the intermediate and advanced level of the above languages are eligible for FLAS funding. In exceptional cases funding may also be available to support advanced language training in French, German or Spanish at the graduate level; funding is usually, although not necessarily, provided as a dissertation FLAS utilizing advanced knowledge of French, German or Spanish. If you would like to apply for an academic FLAS to study a European language offered at UF, but not listed above, please contact the CES FLAS Coordinator, Dr. Dr. Sinan Ciddi at sinanciddi@ufl.edu.
Applications will be accepted for pursuit of a graduate or undergraduate degree in any UF department. The Center recommends that fellowship recipients also work toward fulfilling the requirements for a Certificate in European Area Studies at the graduate level, in conjunction with their specific graduate degree requirements or a minor European Union or East-Central European Studies at the undergraduate level.
Value of this fellowship
Fellowships provide a set stipend (AY2010-2011 $15,000 for graduates and $5000 for undergraduates) per academic year and cover the cost of tuition and fees (12 credits per semester). Applicants must be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States and be admitted to a graduate or undergraduate program at the University of Florida. Successful applicants will show:
-clear promise of completing a graduate or undergraduate degree with a European concentration and a demonstrated need to acquire proficiency in a European language
-a plan to pursue field research in Europe using the language of study (graduate only)
-an excellent academic record as demonstrated by course grades, SAT/GRE scores, and recommendations
