Center for East Asian Studies
Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships
Academic Year 2005-06

Applications are due February 4, 2005, to the Applicant’s Department

The Center for East Asian Studies will award seven FLAS Fellowships for
AY 2005-06 to graduate students planning to pursue modern East Asian
language study at the intermediate or higher level. The FLAS Fellowship
pays tuition and general fees and provides an annual stipend of $14,000
(which may be augmented by individual Schools at Penn).

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, be admitted to
or enrolled in a graduate program at Penn, and have research or career
plans that require the use of an East Asian language. The languages most
commonly studied are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, but other languages
also may be approved. Awards are made by the Executive Committee of the
Center for East Asian Studies.

The successful applicant must then enroll both semesters of the
Fellowship year in an intermediate or advanced modern East Asian
language and in full-time study in either East Asian Studies or
professional studies related to East Asia, and complete a brief report.

Application should be made directly to the Graduate Chair of the
Department in which the applicant is enrolled, by February 4th.
(Incoming graduate students should indicate to the departments to which
they have applied that they would like to be considered for the FLAS.)
The application form, which lists the materials required for submission,
is attached to the electronic version of this message, and it appears on

The competition will be conducted strictly in accordance with University
policies and the selection guidelines of the U.S. Department of
Education’s Title VI Program. The Center for East Asian Studies seeks to
support students in as wide a variety of disciplines and professions,
and from as wide a variety of backgrounds, as possible.
