FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR REES STUDENTS
Undergraduate Students. REES annually grants Summer Study Abroad Awards and Undergraduate Internship Awards on a competitive basis to Pitt students who are enrolled in the REES Undergraduate Certificate Program. These awards fund either study abroad or summer internships located in the REES world region, or internships in the field of Russian and East European Studies located in Pittsburgh during the academic year. Assistance is available with finding internship placements.
Other scholarships, loans, and work-study programs for Pitt undergraduates are administered by the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid. Work-study positions assisting REES staff with office work are periodically available during the academic year. If you are eligible to receive a work-study award and are interested in such a position, please contact Eileen O'Malley.
