About
The NRC seeks to support student language learning opportunities directly by offering Foreign Language and Areas Studies Fellowship (FLAS) awards annually to GW students studying Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, critical languages that are indispensable for engaging areas of national need in East Asia. FLAS Academic Year fellowships are awarded exclusively to graduate (PhD and Master’s candidates) and professional students (JD, MPH, DrPH, MBA and MD) at GW, while the FLAS Summer fellowships are awarded to graduate (Master’s, PhD), professional students (JD, MPH, DrPH, MBA and MD) AND undergraduate students.
If you have questions about FLAS, please visit the Office of Graduate Student Assistants and Fellowships’ (OGSAF) East Asia FLAS information page, or send an email to asia@gwu.edu for assistance.
