FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE LSA’S 2013 LINGUISTIC INSTITUTE

Applications will soon be available for student fellowships to attend the LSA’s 2013 Linguistic Institute, which will be held at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from June 24 – July 19th. The LSA’s biennial Linguistic Institutes are the premier events of their kind in our field, bringing together hundreds of students and linguistics professionals for a weeks-long program of courses, workshops, mini-conference, lectures, social events, and special activities. Complete information about the 2013 Institute is available at http://lsa2013.lsa.umich.edu/.

The LSA and the Institute provide a number of fellowships for students to attend the Institute. Most fellowships cover tuition only, but a few “Named Fellowship” provide additional elements. More information about the application process is available at http://www.linguisticsociety.org/meetings-institutes/institutes/fellowships. Applications will be available beginning January 14, through login at the LSA website. The application deadline will be February 7. Please note, in particular, that the application requires two letters of recommendation to be submitted by February 14. You need only provide the names and e-mail addresses of your recommenders; the LSA will contact them separately to request the letters of recommendation. Note that applicants must be student members of the LSA. Nonmembers may join at http://www.linguisticsociety.org/join.

If you are interested in applying for a fellowship, the LSA suggests you review the information above now, so that you can 1) decide if you are interested in applying for one of the named fellowships; 2) familiarize yourself with what is required for the application, and; 3) notify your recommenders that they will be contacted separately by the LSA.
