Students may apply once a year for up to $400, either to pay for conference travel OR to cover research expenses.
Funds are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, so it’s a good idea to get requests in early.
Applications should be submitted to Alejandro Cuza, Director of Linguistics.
Travel: To apply for money from Linguistics, either to pay travel costs or to supplement a PROMISE award, students must show proof that they will be presenting a paper or a poster at a conference. Please attach this with your request.
Research: Students can apply for funding to support research expenses such as paying subjects, gaining access to corpora, and so on. Applications must be accompanied by:
A letter from the student’s advisor attesting to the merit of the research.
A budget outlining how the money will be spent.
In the case of studies involving human subjects, you must also have received IRB approval. Please include a copy of your consent form, the amount approved for subject compensation, and IRB approval number along with your application.
Because our funds are limited, we strongly urge students to first apply for funding through PROMISE.
