On September 10, 2025 CSEEES and Area Studies Centers across the country received the official Notice of Non-Continuation of Grant Award from the U.S. Department of Education. This impacts the current Title VI grant cycle, which supports both the National Resource Center (NRC) and Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowships. In the letter, they stated that these programs “are inconsistent with Administration priorities and do not advance American interests or values.” This termination leaves CSEEES with a funding gap of nearly $500,000 per year. Now more than ever, we rely on our partners to continue with our mission to serve, facilitate, and stimulate the teaching, research, and intellectual interests of our community in all matters dealing with Eastern Europe and Eurasia. If you are able, please consider making a donation to the Center. Any dollar amount, even $5-10, can go a long way. We are searching for other grants and endowments to help fill the gap—please contact cseees@osu.edu if you are aware of any opportunities that may be a good fit.
