Slovenia

2 FULBRIGHT FULL GRANTS

Language A working knowledge of the Slovenian language is desirable, but not required unless necessary for the successful completion of the project. A good command of the language is especially important for Slovene studies. Supplemental language training (at cost) is available upon arrival in Slovenia. However, English is widely spoken in Slovenia, especially in university settings.

Grant period 9 months, October through May.

Candidate profile Candidates at all degree levels are accepted, but preference is given to graduate-level students who propose serious projects and can conduct independent study.

Affiliation Applicants are encouraged to arrange affiliation and submit letters of invitation. Otherwise, they may indicate preferences for affiliation. When applicants do not indicate a host institution preference, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy will seek the most appropriate placements.

General comments Universities are organized according to the European system. Professors are free to modify course content from year to year and change the texts used. University bulletins that list all courses offered are available each fall (only in Slovene). Libraries are open to all students. The Slovene government may provide a local currency contribution toward the cost of housing.

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.
