Step 2: Apply for Funding

The HUSI Scholarship: Due March 14, 2024

Each year, the Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (HURI) awards numerous tuition scholarships to support participation in the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) and enrollment in HUSI courses through the Harvard Summer School (HSS). In addition, a limited number of full scholarships are awarded each year, which include tuition plus room and board in on-campus housing. Students must register for 8-credits of HUSI coursework in order to be eligible for a full scholarship. Scholarships are awarded based on demonstration of academic merit, academic or professional contribution to Ukrainian studies, and financial need.

See details and apply

*Please note that eligible students who apply for the HUSI Scholarship to support enrollment in "Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge" should also apply for a summer FLAS (Foreign Language Area Studies) Fellowship at their home institution, if available, and/or through the Davis Center at Harvard. 

Summer FLAS Fellowship

"Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge" is an 8-credit FLAS-eligible language course. Harvard and non-Harvard graduate and undergraduate students may apply for a Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowship through Harvard's Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and through their home institution, provided it participates in this US Department of Education sponsored program. FLAS applicants must be either US citizens or permanent residents to be eligible. This fellowship includes both tuition assistance and a stipend for living expenses. The deadline to apply for a Summer FLAS Fellowship from the Davis Center is in early February each year. Please see the DCRES website for full details.

Other Funding Sources 

US and international students should fully exhaust all available funding opportunities at their home institutions. Canadian students may be able to receive help from the Ontario Student Assistance Program, which offers a mix of grants and loans for students taking classes at approved institutions. 

Step 3: Create your "MyDCE" Student Account and Pre-Register 

Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) courses are offered through the Harvard Summer School (HSS). Students must meet all HSS requirements and deadlines. Submission of the HUSI Enrollment Form and/or HUSI Scholarship Application does not constitute registration. 

In order to offiically register, students must first create a "MyDCE" student account with the Harvard Summer School and complete the HSS Pre-Registration process. Please do so as soon as possible, ideally in March. This requires separate log-in credentials than the HarvardKey used to access the HUSI Scholarship application. You will not be allowed to register until all requirements are met. Non-native English speakers should take notice of HSS's English Proficiency requirement. If applicable, students will need to submit proof of English Proficiency during Pre-Registration and will not be able to register or accept a HURI scholarship unless HSS approves the required documentation.

Step 4: Register for your HSS course(s)

After you have completed Pre-Registration, please officially register for your chosen course(s).

Scholarship recipients must be fully registered before the payment deadline in mid-May in order to receive the award. If your plans change or you do not receive sufficient funding, you will have the opportunity to drop the course. 

Harvard Summer School deadlines begin on March 1st. Please play close attention and see the HSS Summer Academic Calendar for exact dates, including housing and visa requests.

Please closely review all HSS Registration instructions and contact HSS Enrollment Services with any questions, at inquiry@summer.harvard.edu (Students are encouraged to CC HUSI Programs Coordinator, Megan Duncan Smith, at duncansmith@fas.harvard.edu).
