Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship
The Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowship (FLAS) Program assists in pursuing training in order to acquire a high level of competence in one or more languages critical to national needs of the United States, and a fuller understanding of the areas, regions, or countries in which that language is commonly used. These fellowships provide tuition fees and stipend for a full academic year for study of an approved foreign language and associated area studies. In addition, a select number of fellowships are provided for summer intensive language study, either in the US or in Europe, and provide tuition fees and stipend. Only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible for FLAS funds.

Mario Einaudi Graduate Fellowship
The Mario Einaudi Graduate Fellowship alternates between young Cornellians and Italian scholars: thus Cornellians may apply every other year. The Fellowship is awarded on a competitive basis to a candidate whose research reflects a commitment to Mario Einaudi's goal of interpreting the United States to Europe and Europe to the United States. The competition is open to Cornell advanced graduate students in the social sciences, history and philosophy who plan to spend an academic year in Europe, preferably but not necessarily in Italy.

Manon Michels Einaudi Graduate Research Grant
One award of $3,000 is given each year for graduate research in a field close to Mrs. Einaudi's own interests: European art and architecture, art history, literature, philosophy, and culture. Graduate students in those fields who need to conduct research in Europe and who are recommended by their faculty committee are eligible. The chief aim of the Manon Einaudi Grant is to help Cornell graduate students to explore possible topics or otherwise launch their dissertation work, although applications from students whose dissertations are already in progress will also be considered.
