Baltic Studies Summer Institute (BALSSI) at Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison

[Jennifer Tishler]

There's still time to apply for the Baltic Studies Summer Institute 
(BALSSI) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison for summer 2009! We have 
just learned that the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) will 
fund the teaching of first-year Estonian at BALSSI for 2009. The program 
fee (tuition) for first-year Estonian will be waived for graduate 
students specializing in East European studies in any discipline. 
(Students will still be responsible for paying segregated fees in the 
amount of $223.52). Please see below for more information. ~Jennifer
