Is it appropriate for the GPA grantee institution to request/expect payment from FLAS fellowships to offset domestic administrative costs associated with GPA language programs?
No. The only costs that are allowable from a FLAS fellowship are tuition/fees and stipend, whether a student is enrolled in an intensive summer language program in the U.S. or a GPA- sponsored program overseas. A GPA grantee institution cannot use FLAS funds to offset the domestic administrative costs it incurs for publicity, registering students, securing language faculty and chaperones, or for sending the U.S. GPA project director overseas to coordinate activities. These costs must be cost-shared with other entities and not the FLAS grant.
