| Title | Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute Fellowships |
| Body | The Southeast Asian Studies Summer Institute (SEASSI) offers university-level instruction in Burmese, Filipino, Hmong, Indonesian, Khmer, Lao, Thai and Vietnamese languages at multiple levels. Instruction is also offered in Javanese if enrollments are sufficient. In addition, a special focus is made on Heritage language instruction at SEASSI in Filipino, Hmong, Khmer, Lao and Vietnamese languages and cultures. Heritage instruction is specifically geared toward native-speakers of those five 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 Southeast Asian language, there are 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. Please note that the deadline for applying for Heritage Fellowships and Foreign Language Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships is February 2, 2007, which is fast approaching. The deadline for applying for Tuition Reduction Scholarships is April 2, 2007.
