Two Edmond S. Muskie Fellows have entered the Oklahoma State University School of International Studies graduate program this fall.

Rafael Zhansultanov from Kazakhstan and Jahan Saparmamedova from Turkmenistan are among the 30 new students who entered the graduate program for the fall semester.

Two other Muskie Fellows — Firyuza Babayeva of Turkmenistan and Eraj Kaniev of Tajikistan — are also among SIS’s 90 students who are working toward their master’s degrees. In its 10-year history, SIS has had about 50 Muskie Fellows go through the graduate program.

Established by Congress in 1992 to encourage economic and democratic growth in Eurasia, the Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship Program is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the US Department of State and administered by IREX.

It aims to promote mutual understanding, build democracy and foster the transition to market economies in Eurasia through intensive academic study and professional training for fellows from 12 countries of the former Soviet Union.

In addition to their academic courses, all Muskie fellows perform community service and complete a summer internship in their field of study.
