Deadline: February 1, 2023
The Central Eurasian Studies Summer Institute (CESSI) is an 8-week summer intensive language learning program for languages such as Kazakh, Tajik, Uyghur, and Uzbek and hosted in Madison, Wisconsin. More information about CESSI can be found at https://cessi.wisc.edu.
If you are interested in applying for any CESSI-administered funding, like the Title VIII fellowship or CESSI Tuition Remission, now’s the time to get all your materials in! This includes the following items:
The General Application Form, submitted via our website A CV or resume Copies of all prior transcripts from higher institutions $25 application fee 2 letters of recommendation
As a note, it’s okay if we receive your letters of recommendation a couple of days after the priority deadline, so long as you give us notice and you have all of your other materials in before midnight on February 1, 2023.
You can find more information about the CESSI application on our website here. Also, if you want to learn more about CESSI beyond what the website offers, we’ve recorded a short informational video on our YouTube channel.
After the February 1 priority deadline, we will still accept applications on a rolling basis until April 1, 2023. Applications received by the priority deadline will determine which courses we will be able to offer for summer 2023, and applying by the priority deadline is your best chance to receive funding for the summer. We expect to send out admissions decisions to priority applicants throughout March and April, though we will keep everyone updated should this change.
As always, feel free to reach out to us at cessi@creeca.wisc.edu for any questions.
