Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures

Scott K. Maltby was a second-year graduate student in our program who passed away unexpectedly of natural causes in February, 2015. His family established the endowed Scott K. Maltby Memorial Fund that will provide support for graduate students in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Annual awards are given to at least 2 graduate students in recognition of their program leadership and intent to work in academia, to support travel, research, and study expenses.
