Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Postsecondary Education Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships Program (CFDA 84.015B) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Education that helps strengthen U.S. capacity in critical foreign languages and world regions. Rather than funding individual students directly, the program awards grants to eligible institutions of higher education (or consortia of institutions) so those institutions can allocate FLAS fellowships to high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students. The fellowships support training in modern foreign languages alongside related area studies or broader international studies, with the general goal of producing graduates with both strong language proficiency and deep regional or international expertise.
This particular opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number ED GRANTS 020210 004) was posted on February 2, 2010, with applications made available the same day. The deadline to submit applications was March 23, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on April 22, 2010. A notable administrative detail is that applications for this competition had to be submitted in paper form, either by mail or hand delivery, which is specifically called out in the notice.
In terms of scale and funding, the program anticipated about 126 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,400,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $86,500 and an award ceiling of $376,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute institutional funds as a condition of receiving a grant (though institutions may still choose to supplement fellowship support depending on their internal policies).
Eligibility was limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled and private institutions, as well as consortia of such institutions. The program’s structure is designed to route federal support through universities and consortia that can administer the fellowships, recruit and select fellows, and ensure that fellows complete the required combination of language study and area or international studies training. The synopsis emphasizes that the short description is not the authoritative source for requirements; the controlling guidance is the official Federal Register application notice.
For further details, the opportunity directs applicants to the Department of Education’s program page for applicant information (http://www2.ed.gov/programs/iegpsflasf/applicant.html) and notes that the official Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations can be accessed for free through GPO Access (as listed in the notice).
