Simply Slavic is announcing its 2024 round of scholarships for students attending Youngstown State University.

The deadline for applicants is Thursday, July 31. The winners will be announced in mid-August.

YSU students who have completed their freshman year and currently enrolled at the undergraduate or graduate level are encouraged to apply.

All applicants must submit a 500-word narrative on how Slavic culture has influenced their lives. Funds for tuition and student expenses such as books, lodging and study abroad programs can be used.

The scholarship is supported through a partnership with Modern Methods Brewing Co.

In 2018, Simply Slavic and the Warren-based brewer collaborated to launch Rodina, a traditional Czech Amber Lager (polotmavé pivo). The beverage features spicy Czech Saaz noble hops, lager yeast and caramel Bohemian malt. It was named after the word that means family in many Slavic languages.

The Simply Slavic scholarship committee panel will select the winners after reviewing their essays and academic achievements.

Applications are available for download or online completion at SimplySlavic.org… under the tab forms. For more information, call 330-333-1441 or email
