'Cause getting grants and fellowships for research is not that complicated. Here are some of the great opportunities for SIP students:

VIA CLACS:

***************



FOREIGN LANGUAGE AND AREA STUDIES FELLOWSHIPS (FLAS)

CLACS offers undergraduate and graduate fellowships to study Quechua, Portuguese or any Amerindian language.

FLAS Fellowships support graduate study in modern foreign languages in combination with area studies, international studies, or international or area aspects of professional studies. FLAS Fellowships are administered by the University of Illinois Area Studies Centers and Programs and are awarded competitively through an annual competition. Students from all departments and professional schools are encouraged to apply. Priority is given to the study of less commonly taught languages and each Center has specific priorities. A standardized FLAS application is available on-line through this Web site. Graduate student applications are submitted by the student’s department; undergraduate applications are submitted directly to the Center to which the student is applying.

********

*All applications are due February 12, 2010. Graduate students should check with their department about its internal FLAS deadline.

Message from Angelina Cotler:

"Dear All

If you are planning to apply for a FLAS in Portuguese I strongly recommend
you to:

1. apply also to the Center for Global Studies which also offers FLAS in
Portuguese
2. Apply for the Lemann Fellowships which also cover tuition and stipend
(check my mail today)

I recommend you to apply to these options too due to a limited numbers of
fellowships and a high increase of applications

Any questions just contact me

Angelina"
