Scholarship Description: Opportunities for U.S. graduate students to study languages and regions critical to U.S. interests. The Language Flagship offers a limited number of fellowships to qualified American students interested in receiving financial support to participate in one of the graduate Flagship Programs in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, or Persian. Flagship Fellowships are awards that provide up to two years of funding to support academic expenses directly associated with participation in a Flagship Program, including tuition, a modest stipend for living expenses, support for travel costs, and health insurance coverage. The living stipend is based on reasonable costs associated with the location of each Flagship Program. Total Flagship Fellowship amounts will vary by individual depending upon the composition and duration of the program. Fellowship award amounts cannot include additional support for dependents. Flagship Fellows are expected to devote full-time effort in the Flagship Program in which they are enrolled. Therefore, Flagship Fellows may not pursue requirements of other degree programs while receiving Flagship Fellowship support, nor may Flagship Fellowships be combined with other sources of funding that would require Fellows to devote less than full-time effort to the Flagship Program of study.
