Balassi Institute Graduate Fellowship in Hungarian Studies

Indiana University Department of Central Eurasian Studies invites applications for the Balassi Institute Graduate Fellowship in Hungarian Studies.

The Fellowship will be given to a student who has been admitted or is applying to the Department of Central Eurasian Studies at Indiana University-Bloomington and is primarily engaged in research falling within the field of Hungarian language and area studies, including but not limited to Hungarian culture and history. Strong preference is given to citizens of the US and Canada. Indiana University is a research university with world-class programs in both area studies and the disciplines; its libraries hold the richest university-based Hungarian collections in the US. This fellowship includes tuition remission, health insurance, and a fellowship stipend of $15,000 for the 2020-2021 academic year. Recipients can apply annually for renewal.

Applicants should submit a letter of interest to the Balassi Institute Graduate Fellowship Committee at ceus@indiana.edu. Include a description of your research and two letters of recommendation in one PDF file. If you are applying for admission to the Department of Central Eurasian Studies the admission application deadline is December 15 for domestic applications and December 1 for International. As long as your admission application is submitted by the deadline you will be automatically considered if your statement of purpose clearly states Hungarian Studies as your research intent. No additional items are needed.
