The University of Utah offers U.S. Department of Education Title VI funded Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships. Students in any department who will include FLAS-eligible language study in their schedule and fulfill FLAS eligibility requirements can apply. 48 University of Utah students received FLAS fellowships during Summer 2024 and Academic Year 2024-25. Yearly, we provide up to $607,000 in scholarship support to undergraduate and graduate students.


FLAS 2025-2026 Notifications

FLAS notifications will be sent to Umail email addresses, or to the email addresses listed on the FLAS applications for applicants that did not list a Unid number and Umail address.

We anticipate sending Summer 2025 notifications late March or early April 2025, and Academic Year 2025-2026 notifications in April or May. If you have not received an email notification by June 2025, please let our office know.

FLAS 2025-2026 Applications

Applicants with a UNID should follow the link below, which will direct you to the application page where you will need to sign in with your UNID on the top right. Once signed in, you will first be prompted to complete your "General Application." Then keyword search "flas" and click "apply." Please use Chrome or Firefox, not Internet Explorer.

NOTE: The online application allows transcripts and letters of recommendation to be uploaded directly. If you or your recommenders experience difficulty uploading these files, try using file names that only contain letters and numbers. File names that contain special characters (-, _, :, etc.) may be rejected by the online system.

CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT THE ONLINE APPLICATION

Applicants without a UNID should fill out a PDF application:

PDF application Instructions:

  • Please submit the PDF application by email to flas@utah.edu. Send all materials in one email, and in one combined PDF file.
  • If unable to send a single PDF file, please send materials in one email with the FLAS application and transcripts attached as separate documents. The application materials, excluding letters of recommendation, must be sent directly by the applicant (please do not request for transcripts to be sent directly to our office).
  • Candidates using a PDF application should provide their recommenders with a Recommendation Form to be submitted along with their letters. Click Here to Download the Recommendation Form
  • Letters of recommendation and recommendation forms must be sent directly from the recommender, not the applicant, to flas@utah.edu

Note: DO NOT fill out a PDF application if you have a UNID. PDF applications should only be used by applicants who do not have a UNID.
