GRADUATE FLAGSHIP

The Graduate Flagship Program is a collaboration of 4 institutions:

•The Language Flagship: provides funding.

•The University of Maryland: Flagship Fellows complete the domestic program at UMCP.

•The American Councils for International Education: Flagship Fellows then go on to spend a second year overseas in Damascus, Syria.

•The Institute for International Education: administers the funding for both components of the Flagship program. Fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis to students who agree to complete both domestic and overseas study.

Students may apply to the University of Maryland MPS program whether or not they seek fellowship funding. However, admission to the MPS program at Maryland is required for graduate fellowship funding.
