The American Research Center in Sofia sponsors a three-week summer session on Bulgarian history and culture. The session consists of lectures at the American Research Center in Sofia with visit to sites in and near Sofia and historical and cultural excursions throughout Bulgaria. Lectures and site reports are given by leading experts from Bulgarian universities and museums.

The program is open to graduate and advanced undergraduate students, high-school and college teachers, and other scholars with a serious interest in Bulgarian history and culture. The total cost for participation not including international travel is $2,000 (full room and board, use of research facilities, local travel, and lectures).

Applicants need to submit also a statement of interest (up to three pages), a CV, and, in the case of student applicants, two letters of recommendation (sent separately by e-mail). A limited number of grants to cover part of the participation fees will be available to the student applicants, to be awarded on the basis of merit.
