Student Travel Fund

The Department of Russian and East European Studies invites applications to our Student Travel Fund from currently enrolled Penn undergraduate and graduate students. These monies support summer travel generally related to the study of Russian and other languages of the REES region undertaken outside the United States. While award amounts are flexible and depend on a number of factors, in the past, awards have tended to be between $500 and $1500. Preference may be given to REES majors and minors, students who have presented at the Slavic Bazaar, and/or applications that include a formal language training component.
