Foreign Language
and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships
FLAS fellowships are awarded on a competitive
basis to full-time graduate students at UA. CMES administers the
FLAS fellowship program under its authorization as a Title VI Middle
East National Resource Center by the U.S. Department of Education.
University of Arizona graduate students pursuing Middle
Eastern language study are eligible to apply for these FLAS Fellowships.
An applicant must be a US citizen or permanent resident, and must
plan to enroll full-time in a degree program that will include study
of Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, or Turkish, and Middle East area studies courses. Awards are offered for both
the academic year at UA and approved programs of intensive summer
language study either in the US or the Middle East. Academic year
and summer fellowships provide full tuition and a stipend. Summer
FLAS awards may also provide partial support for travel. Academic Year FLAS Fellowships may
be awarded to both incoming and continuing students. Application
for FLAS is separate from the admissions application.

You must fill it in completely and then print it. Of course you can also print the application and use a typewriter to fill it out. Handwritten applications will not be accepted.

Funding for Conference Attendance:
CMES provides travel funds to UA graduate students to participate in professional meetings, conferences and symposia that are directly related to the students' educational development in Middle East studies. Preference will be given to graduate students who will present invited papers or posters at the professional gatherings. Undergraduate students who will present invited papers or posters at professional meetings, conferences and symposia are also eligible to apply for funding. Funds permitting, awards may be made to students who attend but do not present at Middle East-related meetings. Each student is eligible for one award per academic year.
