Are undergraduate students eligible to receive FLAS fellowships?
Yes. Changes made to Title VI of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA) by the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 allows for FLAS awards to be given to meritorious undergraduate students who are studying a Less Commonly Taught Language (LCTL) – which is defined here as any language other than English, Spanish, German, or French – and who are at the intermediate or advanced level of that study.
