ASEEES 2020 Internship Program Recipients

ASEEES is delighted to announce the ASEEES Internship Grant Program Recipients for 2020. This program provides MA, PhD, and professional school students and recent graduates (i.e. those who have graduated no more than two years prior to the competition deadline) with grants that make it possible for them to accept unpaid or underpaid internships in areas directly related to Russian studies. The program promotes the entry of young scholars with considerable Russian studies expertise into sectors outside traditional academia, including not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations, business/trade councils, government, media, the arts, museums, publishers, and other sectors. Due to COVID-19, the grantees will have until the summer of 2021 to complete their internships.
