Professional Development Fellowships
*****************************************************************
Fellowships for periods of three to seven months covering inter-
national transportation, a monthly living stipend, health in-
surance and allowances for books and travel within the host
country are available to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine and
Uzbekistan.
These Fellowships are available to U.S. citizens currently en-
rolled in their second or terminal year of graduate or profes-
sional school, or to recent graduates of those schools in the
fields of business and economics, law, journalism, public admin-
istration, environmental management, education reform, public
health and information science.
Fellows will travel to a country to deepen their understanding of
the current reforms and become familiar with the scholarly re-
sources in their fields in their country of assignment.
Funded by the Research and Training for Eastern Europe and the
Independent States of the Former Soviet Union Act of 1983 of the
U.S. Department of State, these Fellowships have a February 2
