UCLA students receive funding for the study of East Asian language and area studies
Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships are provided by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education Title VI program. The Asia Pacific Center administers the FLAS Fellowship program for East Asia at UCLA, supporting graduate and undergraduate training in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language and related area studies. Summer fellowships support intensive language study. Academic-year fellowships provide fees and a $15,000 living stipend.
