The only program of its kind in North America, the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) offers seven weeks of intensive, accredited university coursework in Ukrainian studies. The program includes academic courses at the Harvard Summer School (HSS), a weekly public lecture series featuring special guests and private events for HUSI students. HUSI students are encouraged to take full advantage of Harvard’s vast library, archive, and museum collections. Every summer since 1971, the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) has brought together exceptional undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, and professionals from around the world. Participation in HUSI supports academic advancement, career development, and membership in a diverse, interdisciplinary community that spans six decades of HUSI cohorts.
The Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute (HURI) provides a substantial amount of financial aid each year to support participation in the Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) and registration in HUSI courses offered through the Harvard Summer School (HSS).
Funding primarily supports tuition, but a very limited number of full scholarships include tuition plus room and board in on-campus housing.
