Introducing IU and REEI's Tucker-Cohen Incoming MA Fellowship

[Liverman, Emily SR]

Indiana University and the Russian and East European Institute are proud to announce the Tucker-Cohen Incoming Master's Student Fellowship.

This award memorializes Robert C. Tucker,  the distinguished political scientist, diplomat, and Stalin biographer who as a professor of government at Indiana University played a critical role in the formation of the Russian and East European Institute. It also honors the work of his student,  Stephen F. Cohen, a preeminent scholar of Soviet and Russian political history, who holds two degrees from Indiana University.

The Tucker/Cohen Fellowship will be awarded to an incoming student in the REEI MA program or any other MA program associated with REEI who demonstrates a scholarly interest in the history and politics of the Soviet Union and/or Russia and intends to pursue a career in some field of public service, such as journalism, secondary education, non-profit 
work, or government service. The award carries a one-year tuition and fee waiver, health insurance, and a stipend of $15,000 per year, for the award year 2012-2013.

There is no separate application required. The fellowship will be awarded every other year, starting with the 2012/2013 academic year.
