Flagship Programs

Flagship Fellowships provide support for graduate study of Arabic, Korean, Mandarin, or Persian in a Flagship Program. Graduate Flagship Programs are comprised of domestic and overseas components.  The highly intensive domestic components prepares participants for full immersion in the overseas phase. Applicants who are awarded Flagship Fellowships are required to commit to participating in both components.
