Featured Financial Aid
The Master of Science in International Affairs and Global Enterprise offers exclusive financial aid opportunities to its students in the form of scholarships and a graduate assistantship. All MIAGE students, both new and current, are eligible to apply for these financial aid opportunities.
Reporting Outside Funding
Tuition benefits are managed through the MIAGE program, even if the assistantship or fellowship is funded by another area of the college or division. Students with a graduate research assistantship (GRA/GA), teaching assistantship (TA), or graduate fellow (GF) from other departments will need the MIAGE program manager to seek approval from the Graduate School for students earning benefit outside of their academic department.
For students earning their tuition benefit support from another area, please complete this form and submit to MIAGE program manager.

Foreign Language and Area Studies Scholarship (FLAS)
MIAGE students interested in foreign language and area studies are encouraged to apply
for a FLAS scholarship. The application deadline is typically in January, so new students
should apply to MIAGE well in advance if they will apply.
Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships are federally funded awards offered
through the University of Utah's Asia Center. They provide funding for undergraduate
and graduate students who study modern foreign languages and related area studies.
Graduate-level courses taken through the FLAS scholarship may count towards elective
requirements and the foreign language certificate, pending the program manager's approval.
