Note:

• The trip to St. Petersburg takes place during the 4-week stay. The participants will return to Moscow.
• Students may be eligible to receive a scholarship in the range of $500 - 1,500 from the Office of International Programs. However, students should be prepared to cover the cost without financial assistance from UTSA.
• Since this is a UTSA course, you can use your regular financial aid, too.
