The Language Flagship Fellowships

The Language Flagship represents a major partnership between the National Security Education Program (NSEP) and selected U.S. colleges and universities to develop intensive, advanced level language curricula in a number of languages critical to U.S. national security. At present, Language Flagship Programs have been established in Arabic, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, and Persian.

Each year, NSEP awards a limited number of Flagship Fellowships to American students from a diverse array of fields and disciplines, who demonstrate a strong commitment to language study, who have already achieved an advanced level of proficiency in the language, and who wish to reach professional working proficiency in that language (ILR Level 3 or ACTFL "Superior" level). Administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE), Flagship Fellowships provide financial support for full-time study of the language for up to two years. Flagship Fellowship recipients maintain enrollment in a graduate Flagship Program for the duration of the award period. In return, Flagship Fellows are expected to fulfill a requirement for service in a national security-related position in the U.S. federal government.

Application:

Please find the 2010 Flagship Fellowships online application at: www.flagshipfellowships.org.

Should you have further questions about the program, please contact us at flagship@iie.org.
