Rare and Distinctive (RAD) Language Fellowships offer over 50 languages, including some of the world’s least frequently taught—from Ukrainian to Quechua, Urdu to Burmese. With the help of a RAD Language Fellowship, you can achieve fluency in your choice of these languages. Learning RAD languages offers insight into vibrant cultural identities and traditions and gives you the ability to work effectively in places around the globe. All currently enrolled Cornell graduate and undergraduate students are eligible for RAD fellowships. You must be planning to study modern language among the least commonly taught languages offered at Cornell. For summer study at any level (graduate or undergraduate): $3,500 stipend, plus fees and tuition allowance of up to $5,000.
