others. Staff at the Moscow Fulbright Office will
do everything possible to facilitate placement
requests based on prior academic contacts, if
available, between grantees and possible host
institutions. Grantees traveling with children have
successfully enrolled their children at a variety of
English and Russian language schools, depending
upon their needs. Information on current activities
and grantees can be found at www.fulbright.ru.
Grantees are required to enter Russia on a U.S.
passport with a Russian visa.
