Eligibility and Funding

•	Applications are invited from all countries. While the program is still focusing on participants from Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union and Mongolia, from 2001 onwards the scholarship eligibility will extend worldwide with particular emphasis on applicants from emerging democracies. The scholarship will cover tuition cost, accommodation, travel, health insurance, and a book allowance. The grant will also include a stipend to cover meals and incidentals. However, participants from Budapest will only receive free tuition, a book allowance and a reduced stipend.

•	Non-scholarship participants must pay for tuition ($200/week of instruction equaling 1,200 classroom minutes), accommodation, health insurance, travel and meals. However, there is a limited number of tuition waivers available which may be applied for on a competitive basis.

•	Applicants must have a university degree and hold a teaching job at a university or college in their home country, or work as an administrator or a professional. Graduate students with teaching experience may also apply. Undergraduates without a university degree will not be considered.

•	The language of instruction is English; thus all applicants have to demonstrate a strong command of English to be able to follow lectures and participate actively in discussions at seminars and workshops. 

•	Individuals are not eligible to apply to a SUN course if they attended either a CRC (Curriculum Resource Center) session or Popper Workshop in the same calendar or academic year (i.e., they must wait one year after their participation in one of the above programs before applying to SUN).  Additionally, applicants are not eligible to apply to SUN if they have participated in two CEU faculty initiative activities (i.e., CRC, SUN, Popper Workshop) within a four-year period.  Preference will be given to new applicants over former participants in Summer University courses.  

•	Currently enrolled CEU students are not eligible. Former CEU students may only apply if they currently hold a teaching position in their home country.
