Sarah Sorenson

With the help of a grant from CICS, Sarah Sorenson, an LSA student concentrating in international studies, Spanish, and crime & justice, spent the winter semester of 2010 studying in Santiago, Chile

The Program in International and Comparative Studies (PICS) extends financial support to University of Michigan students and faculty members engaging in projects related to our three central
thematic pillars of:

  • human rights
  • international development
  • international security and cooperation

Specifically, we provide support to undergraduate students studying, interning, or conducting research overseas, and to faculty members partnering with us on curricular projects.

FLAS Language Study Fellowships
PICS is a member of the International Institute (II) which administers the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship program at Michigan. FLAS fellowships provide tuition and stipend support to students studying designated foreign languages in combination with area studies or international aspects of professional studies. FLAS fellowships are available for both undergraduate and graduate students and are awarded through competitions organized by the II and its constituent area studies centers.
