>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 2008-2009 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.
