FLAS is awarded to a wide variety of students. Students from majors such as Economics, Communications, Linguistics, Environmental Studies, Asian Studies, Sociology, Engineering, Political Science and others have all received FLAS awards.

FLAS can be used for summer study abroad programs, semester study abroad programs, and study at the University of Utah.

All study abroad programs funded with FLAS money must be approved prior to award by the FLAS coordinator and the Department of Education.

The application is due on the Final Friday of January . This is the deadline for both Summer and Academic Year awards. Only one application is needed if you are applying for both awards. Please see the application page for complete details.

Academic year awards: students must register for one language class and one area studies class each semester during the FLAS  fellowship period.

Summer awards: students must enroll in a six-week (minimum) intensive language program.
