FLAS Awards

SDSU’s Center for Latin American Studies is nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a recipient of Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships. FLAS fellowships are extremely competitive and are available to MA
students in any discipline. Academic year fellowships currently provide students with $14,500 in stipends and up to $11,000 in tuition and fees. FLAS fellowships are grants, not loans.

In addition to academic year awards, the FLAS program also provides fellowships for intensive language instruction during the summer. Students studying Advanced Spanish, Portuguese, or other Indigenous Languages of Latin America (Mixtec, Zapotec, Nahuatl, etc.) will be considered.

During the 2008-2009 academic year, approximately five academic year FLAS fellowships will be funded, along with 4-6 summer fellowships in 2008

CLAS Summer Travel Grants

Depending on funding, Latin American Studies also offers summer travel grants to undergraduate and graduate students. These are available to students from all disciplines.
Requirements are that you are in good academic standing and engaged in the study of some aspect of Latin America and/or Spanish, Portuguese, or a less-commonly-taught language. These travel grants have ranged between $400 and $1,200, and in some cases may also include the cost of tuition and fees at a foreign university.
