Russian term

студенты 3-5 курсов

Russian to English Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy
This is about awarding grants to students in Russian universities. I'm wondering if this refers to undergrads, not sure:
В конкурсе принимают участие как студенты 3-5 курсов, так и 1 и 2 курсов магистратуры.

third- through fifth-year undergraduate students

I would translate the whole sentence as follows:
The competition is open both to third- through fifth-year undergraduate students and to first- and second-year Masters students.
Peer comment(s):

agree Erin Barry (Chambers) : this would also be a good translation. I guess it depends on the audience whether I would choose your tranlation or mine.

seniors

There are two systems of education in Russian universities. One is a whole 5-year-study (you must study all 5 years to get a degree of a specialist), another is Bachelor+Master (4+2). In your document the 1st is meant, I would better characterize them as seniors
Peer comment(s):

disagree Erin Barry (Chambers) : 3rd year isn't seniors.
