Subject: Russian-language study funding opportunity for incoming/beginning PhD students - Summer 2018

Dear Directors of Graduate Programs in Political Science:

The Russian Studies Workshop at Indiana University is delighted to bring to your attention a funding opportunity for students interested in learning Russian and entering a PhD program or currently enrolled in their first year of a PhD program.

With the generous support of a major grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, RSW is offering awards of up to $6500 to cover tuition/mandatory fees (approximately $3000), and living costs to eligible students who enroll in a 6-credit graduate Russian course in the IU Summer Language Workshop (SLW) during the Summer 2018 session. The deadline for submission of all materials is April 20th, or until funds are exhausted. There are no requirements with respect to citizenship or resident alien status, as long as the student is enrolling in a U.S. institution (in other words, international students at U.S. institutions are welcome to apply). There are also no restrictions on level of language: beginning, intermediate, or advanced students are welcome to apply.

Eligibility: Students who 1) are entering a PhD program in a social science discipline at a US university in Fall 2018 OR are currently enrolled in their first year of a PhD program in a social science discipline at a US university; and 2) intend to study Russian at any level in SLW from May 29 (1st-Year, 2nd-year)/June 4 (3rd-Year through 6th-Year) to July 27, 2018.

Please see below for more details on how to submit an application, or see more on our website<https://rsw.indiana.edu/fellowships-and-grants/summer-russian-study-fellowships.html>.

Regards,
Sarah
