Financial Aid Available

[Charles Gribble]

The Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures at The 
Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio, which offers the M.A. and Ph.D. 
degrees with specialization in Russian Literature or Slavic Linguistics, 
announces the availability of financial support for qualified new graduate 
students in the 2006-2007 academic year.

OSU and our Department offer Graduate Associateships, University 
Fellowships, Foreign Language and Area Studies Title VI Fellowships, and 
other financial aid.  GA and UF awards are open to students from all 
countries. Both incoming and continuing graduate students are eligible for 
up to five years of financial support.  Well-prepared Graduate Teaching 
Associates regularly teach courses in the Russian, Czech, Polish, Romanian, 
and Serbo-Croatian languages, Russian literature and Russian culture on the 
undergraduate level, and occasionally teach other courses, such as Polish 
or Czech or Balkan Slavic literature and film for undergraduates, and the 
Bulgarian and Ukrainian languages.  All new GTAs take a two-week training 
seminar before classes begin and receive further teacher training and 
education throughout the school year. Each year OSU gives a total of ten 
Graduate Teaching Awards among the 3,400 GTAs throughout the entire 
University. In a recent year our Department's GTAs won two of the ten, and 
another GTA won one of ten Graduate Student Leadership Awards. A 
Departmental atmosphere of mutual respect and assistance between faculty 
and graduate students contributes to the teaching success of our GTAs.  The 
mentoring and training our GTAs receive have contributed strongly to an 
excellent record of postgraduate placement in academic jobs for our Ph.D.s.

The OSU Department of Slavic and East European Languages and Literatures is 
part of a major University-wide program in Slavic and East European 
Studies, with faculty in many fields, including Geography, History, History 
of Art, International Studies, Law, Linguistics, Music, Political Science, 
Sociology, Theater, and Yiddish Language and Literature. The program is 
supported by a very strong research library, with over 1,000,000 titles in 
Slavic and East European Studies, as well as the world's largest repository 
of medieval Slavic texts on microfilm.  The cost of living in Columbus is 
moderate, and the city is easily accessible from almost anywhere in the USA 
and abroad.

The application deadline for international students who wish to be 
considered for University Fellowships is November 30, 2005, and for GTA 
consideration it is January 15, 2006.  The deadline for domestic students 
is Jan. 15 for all awards.  Applications for admission received after 
January 15 may be considered if spaces are available. Electronic 
applications are required; go to http//www.gradapply.osu.edu.

For additional information on applying, see 
http//www.gradsch.ohio-state.edu.  Note that international applicants must 
take and pass the TOEFL exam before they can be admitted to the Graduate 
School.  GRE exams are required from all applicants.
