ADMISSIONS POLICY and PROCEDURES |
|
|
General policy: 1. NES accepts citizens of any country which was formerly part of the Soviet Union. Applicants must have a Bachelor Degree, any University degree or be currently working toward a University degree. Applicants should have at least four years of university education; both knowledge of Russian and English are necessary. 2. Equal rights are granted to all seeking admission, regardless of nationality, race, sex, language, social origin, conviction, party membership, religion, type of occupation, age, place of residence, and type of university education which the applicant has, or is, completing. Fees, Loans and Fellowships: NES, as a non-governmental institution, has no guaranteed financing from the state and must charge tuition fees. However, because of generous support from NES patrons, many students admitted to NES, receive tuition fee waivers and a modest stipend to help with living expenses. These tuition fee waivers and stipends originally are awarded based on the results of entrance examination. Later in the period of study the stipend award depends on the GPA, attendance to classes, participation in research and other aspects of academic performance Given the average income level in Russia, a very limited number of qualified students would be able to pay the tuition fee up front. NES's policy is to ensure that no talented student is denied entry because of lack of funds. For this reason NES is working hard on putting together tuition fee policies and a loan program for students. Detailed information on admissions is available in Russian >>>
