Fellowship Opportunities

Several fellowships are offered by the University of Kansas on a competitive basis. Candidates interested in competing for the fellowships should contact the Department about a year prior to the intended date of enrollment. Generally, the candidate's dossier must be filed with the Department by mid-January to be considered for a fellowship nomination for the following fall semester. A synopsis of funding resources available to students of Slavic Languages and Literatures and Russian and East European Studies is found on the REES Grants and Fellowships page.
