Foreign language study grants are available to students for summer language study abroad after their G1, G2, or G3 years. Applicants must show the importance of the foreign language for their research, and the grant must be used for an intensive language program lasting at least six weeks.
Grants consist of a stipend of $2,500 and up to $4,000 toward foreign language tuition costs. (Room, board, travel, or costs other than tuition will not be covered.)
Students in a doctoral program or a similar advanced degree program at any of Harvard's academic departments or professional schools may apply. US citizens and permanent residents must demonstrate that they have applied (or were not eligible) for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) award. Grant recipients must conduct their language study outside of the United States.
Recipients of the grants must show the importance of language study for their research.
The application and more information can be found on the GSAS Fellowships website in the early fall.
