4 fellowships of $5,000 each
The Shevchenko Scientific Society invites applications for Ukrainian Studies Research Fellowships. This program supports research projects in Ukrainian Studies. Translation-related projects are eligible when they clearly advance scholarship in Ukrainian Studies by widening access to sources or interpretations contributing to the field’s development. We especially welcome applications from doctoral students or early-career scholars.
