The Institute of East Asian Studies and the Center for Southeast Asia Studies (with the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, its consortium partner at UCLA) have each been awarded new grants from the U.S. Department of Education to serve as Title VI National Resource Centers (NRC) effective for 2022-2026. The new grants will support campus programs, including public lectures, workshops and conferences; library acquisitions; language instruction; and K-14 outreach. New Title VI U.S. Department of Education grants were also awarded to IEAS and CSEAS to provide Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships for UC Berkeley students studying East Asian and Southeast Asian languages during the summer and academic year.
