Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships 
FLAS Fellowships are funded by federal grant money from the Department of Education. Fellowships are given to students to study critically needed languages and to develop students’ cultural understanding of foreign countries through area studies courses. Fellowships are available for either Summer 2013 or the 2013-2014 academic year. Summer fellowships are for students to study-abroad at an intensive language program or to attend a domestic summer language institute. Academic year fellowships are for students to study at OSU; students enroll in one language course and one area studies course each semester.  Both undergraduate and graduate students can apply. The application deadline is February 1, 2013. Applications and more information is available on the FLAS website.

Languages in which the Slavic Center offers fellowships are: Bosnian-Serbian-Croatian, Czech, Georgian, Modern Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Turkish, Uzbek, Yiddish
