Heritage Fellowship (and other fellowships including FLAS)
Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI)

The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) offers
university-level instruction in Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao
and Vietnamese language and culture at multiple levels. 
Instruction is specifically geared toward native-speakers of
those languages who wish to learn to read or write and/or
improve their formal speaking skills.  If you already possess
basic or intermediate-level reading and writing skills in your
language, there are several higher level classes available at
SEASSI in all of the above five languages. If you cannot speak
or understand the language of your parents/grandparents at
all, SEASSI also offers beginning level classes, for which no
previous knowledge of the language is required.

To see examples of Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and Vietnamese
teaching materials used at SEASSI, student work, photos, and
videos of classroom activities and student projects, visit:
http://www.seassi.wisc.edu/heritage/index.html

SEASSI will take place at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
from June 18 to August 10, 2007.  SEASSI is an intensive
language program where students have an opportunity to study
only Southeast Asian languages, five days a week, for two
months.  Students receive one year (2 full semesters) of
foreign language credit for the program.

Several types of financial aid are available for SEASSI
students, including the Heritage Fellowship.  To read more
