10 FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS

Language Language proficiency commensurate with the requirements of the projects and sufficient to carry out the proposed course of study or research is expected by the beginning of the award. Ukrainian is preferable and Russian is useful. Ukrainian language study (at cost) is available at most institutions and can be arranged for those applicants whose projects would require higher language proficiency. The Fulbright Office in Ukraine can organize Ukrainian language training on an individual basis. Please note that additional personal funds will be needed to cover costs for individual lessons or study with private teachers. Academic courses are taught in Ukrainian, but some universities also offer courses in English. Supervision by English-speaking professors is available at most universities.

Academic year Two semesters: usually mid-September through January; February through mid-June.

Grant period 10 months. The grant period starts with the beginning of the academic year at the host institution.

Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels are considered. Candidates capable of working independently are encouraged. Applications in political science, public policy, media and communication studies, ethnic and minority issues, multidisciplinary studies, and international education are particularly welcome.

Affiliation Prearrangement of institutional affiliation is encouraged but not required. When applicants do not indicate a host institution the Fulbright Office in Ukraine will seek the most appropriate placement and can assist in establishing contacts at appropriate institutions. An applicant’s institutional preferences are taken into account, but the Fulbright Office reserves the right to place candidates at other institutions, if necessary. Applicants in the fine arts are encouraged to establish contact with specialists in their fields before applying for a grant and to request invitations to study with them. Potential candidates can discuss places of affiliation via e-mail at: student@fulbright.com.ua. All grantees will be affiliated with accredited academic or research-oriented institutions in Ukraine. Grantees are welcome to attend classes. By individual arrangement it is possible to earn a Ukrainian university degree during the period of the grant. The Fulbright Office in Ukraine facilitates university enrollment at the applicant’s preferred institution if degree courses are available.

Dependents The basic amount of the Fulbright grant is increased by US$100 per month for one accompanying dependent and by US$200 per month for two or more accompanying dependents.
