Foreign Language and Area Studies Application
Thank you for applying for undergraduate or graduate student funding from the University of Kansas to study a less commonly taught language. This opportunity is made possible by a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) grant provided by the U.S. Department of Education.
It is the student's responsibility to make certain that the application is complete;
incomplete applications will not be considered. Under certain circumstances paper applications and all supporting materials may be submitted by email. Please contact the FLAS coordinator for the Center(s) you are applying to if you need us to consider this option.
If applying for multiple fellowship terms or multiple languages, a separate application must be submitted for each.
Read all descriptions and instructions carefully, as specific information is required for certain fields. Please be aware that the application form may not reliably save your progress or you may not be able to return to it at a later time. Therefore, it is recommended that you reserve enough time to fill out the entire application, including all required file uploads, in order to minimize loss of progress. The estimated time to complete the application is 60 minutes (without prepared materials) or 20 minutes (with prepared materials). You are encouraged to record your responses to the application in a separate document in case of a technical glitch that might cause you to lose your progress.
If you have questions or issues, contact your FLAS coordinator. The University of Kansas will be closed from 12/24/2022-01/02/2023. Please note that Center staff, including FLAS Coordinators, may not respond to emails during this period; if you are needing an immediate response, include “[URGENT]” in the subject heading, and you will receive a response.
