Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 121621 002
The Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE), under International and Foreign Language Education (IFLE). Listed under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 84.015B (CFDA 84.015), the program provides grant funding to U.S. institutions of higher education (and consortia of such institutions) so they can award fellowships to students. The central aim is to strengthen U.S. capacity in modern foreign languages and in-depth regional or international knowledge by supporting students whose coursework combines language training with area studies, international studies, or the international dimensions of professional fields.
Rather than funding individual students directly through a federal application, FLAS primarily funds colleges and universities (and eligible consortia), which then select “meritorious” undergraduate and graduate recipients for academic-year and summer fellowships. The fellowships are meant to support structured language study paired with substantive academic training focused on a world region or international topic area. For graduate students in particular, FLAS support can extend beyond regular coursework and may include earlier-stage research development and writing needs, such as predissertation study, preparation for dissertation research, dissertation research conducted abroad, or dissertation writing. In practical terms, the program is designed to help build long-term expertise by lowering financial barriers for students pursuing rigorous language-and-area training pathways.
Eligibility for applicants includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other eligible entities as further clarified in the official notice. The opportunity is administered as a grant, categorized under education funding activities, and was posted with an expectation of around 100 awards. The listing indicates an award ceiling of 0, which typically signals that the ceiling is not specified in the summary record and that applicants should rely on the published Federal Register notice for precise award size guidance, restrictions, and any funding ranges or formulas.
Key dates included in the announcement show that applications became available on December 16, 2021, with a deadline for transmittal of applications on February 14, 2022, and an intergovernmental review deadline of April 15, 2022. A pre-application webinar for prospective applicants took place on November 10, 2021, and the recording/link was made available through the Department’s International and Foreign Language Education website. For organizations new to Department of Education discretionary grants, the notice also points applicants to the agency’s “funding basics” resources to understand general federal grantmaking expectations and processes.
The synopsis repeatedly emphasizes that the short description is not a substitute for the official Federal Register application notice. Applicants are directed to consult the Federal Register for the authoritative requirements, including eligibility details, application and submission instructions, pre-application guidance, program priorities, performance measures, and contact information. It also points to the Department’s “Common Instructions for Applicants to Department of Education Discretionary Grant Programs” (published February 13, 2019) for standardized application procedures and addresses used for obtaining and submitting materials.
For direct questions, the program contact listed is Timothy Duvall at the U.S. Department of Education, International and Foreign Language Education, with the provided phone number (202) 453-7521 and email NRC-FLAS@ed.gov. Overall, the FLAS program is positioned as a capacity-building investment in language and regional expertise, channeling federal support through universities so they can train students in advanced language skills alongside deep area and international studies, including support for graduate research and dissertation-related stages when applicable.Apply for ED GRANTS 121621 002
