Does the University of Pittsburgh offer FLAS Fellowships?
Yes! US citizens/permanent residents planning to study a foreign language at GSPIA may be eligible for a Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship, which covers full tuition and provides a living stipend. The FLAS is a highly competitive award funded by the US Department of Education, available only at select universities nationwide. The University of Pittsburgh’s Center for Russian & East European Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, and Global Studies Program are able to award FLAS Fellowships because they have been designated National Resource Centers by the US Government. GSPIA’s internal FLAS application deadline is January 15; any student or prospective student interested in applying for a FLAS should contact GSPIA at 412-648-7640 or gspia@pitt.edu.
