June 20–August 8, 2020
The 2020 Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute offers unique courses in Ukrainian studies taught by Harvard and visiting faculty. These courses are intended for graduate students and advanced undergraduates who are concentrating in Ukrainian studies or who wish to broaden their educational experience. Students intending to participate in the HUSI program are asked to submit a HUSI enrollment form. Students must also complete the Harvard Summer School registration process and enroll in the classes they intend to take as part of HUSI.
Tuition for HUSI is commensurate with tuition rates charged for all other Harvard Summer School courses. Tuition for 2020 and the cost of on-campus room and board are posted on the Harvard Summer School website.
Applicants may register for 8 or 4 credits to participate in the program. Applicants seeking the I-20 certificate for the student F-1 US visa must register for 8 credits.
Courses
We are pleased to offer three courses this year through the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute:
· Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge – 8 credits
· Twentieth- and Twenty-First-Century Ukrainian Literature: Rethinking the Canon – 4 credits
· Tradition and Modernity in Ukraine: 19th and 20th Centuries – 4 credits
Applicants wishing to register for a total of 8 credits must enroll in at least one HUSI 4 credit course to be considered part of the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute and may choose an additional 4 credit course from those offered by the general program of the Harvard Summer School. Applicants who decide to register for a non-HUSI course need to register for that course separately online through the Harvard Summer School. Please note that financial aid is offered only to students who plan to take 8 credits in HUSI courses.
Enroll in HUSI
Complete the HUSI enrollment form and send it directly to Tymish Holowinsky, Executive Director, holowins@fas.harvard.edu. You must also follow Summer School procedure and deadlines to register and enroll in courses.

Eligible students requesting HURI financial aid who intend to take Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge should also apply for summer FLAS (Foreign Language Area Studies).
Outside Funding Opportunities
FLAS: Ukrainian for Reading Knowledge is a FLAS-eligible language course. Harvard and non-Harvard graduate and undergraduate students may thus apply for FLAS funding through Harvard’s Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies and through their home institution, provided it participates in the US Department of Education sponsored program. FLAS applicants must also be either US citizens or permanent residents to be eligible. For more information regarding FLAS funding and application, please contact Donna Griesenbeck.
Summer Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships (Undergraduate and Graduate)
FLAS applicants can also apply separately for HURI’s financial aid.
