Tuition for the Beginning B/C/S and Advanced Mastery B/C/S courses will
be waived for graduate students specializing in any field of East
European Studies, due to a grant from the American Council of Learned
Societies. 

Airfare and living expenses in Moscow for participants in the Russian
Heritage Speakers course will be covered through a grant from the
Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program. This course is open to
juniors, seniors, graduate students, and current or prospective
secondary school Russian language teachers (teachers do not need to be
heritage speakers).

Participants in the Advanced Mastery B/C/S and Russian Heritage Speakers
courses will complete an individual research project, using original
language sources obtained in the country of study.

All courses are equivalent to one year of college-level language
instruction. An instructional staff chosen for its experience,
enthusiasm, and commitment to language teaching ensures the high
academic quality of Pitt's SLI program. Daily contact with instructors,
both in class and out, and the use of native speakers in all sections
create an environment conducive to effective language acquisition. All
programs include extracurricular activities such as film viewing,
singing, cooking classes and cultural lectures. The study abroad
programs include excursions and cultural programming in the targeted
country. 

All applicants may apply for the various scholarships that the SLI has
available. Over 90 per cent of applicants receive partial or full
funding from sources including FLAS fellowships, SSRC fellowships for
advanced Russian, and SLI tuition scholarships.
