In addition to general University funds, some funds are provided by training grants such as the Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowships (FLAS), the National Science Foundation Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT), and others. As part of the multi-year award, a student who meets the eligibility requirements of these grants may be funded from one of these sources. In order to devote full-time study to the training requirements required of these awards, students are usually exempted from departmental teaching for the duration of the award. See Outside Fellowships and Teaching, for the policy in the 31 Arts and Sciences programs.
