Name: The Linguistic Society of America Student Fellowship and Travel Awards
Award Amount: Varies
Information and Eligibility:
The Linguistic Society of America (LSA) Student Fellowship and Travel Awards provide financial support to undergraduate and graduate students who are actively involved in linguistic study and research. These awards are designed to help promising students attend conferences, present research, or participate in academic events sponsored by LSA, thereby advancing their scholarly engagement and professional development. The program supports students who demonstrate academic promise in linguistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, language documentation, language education, or related fields, encouraging them to pursue research, fieldwork, or conference participation.
Eligible applicants typically include students who have completed undergraduate coursework or are enrolled in a graduate linguistics or language-related program, and who are in good academic standing. Awards are intended to help cover travel expenses, registration fees, and other costs associated with participating in LSA-sponsored conferences or workshops. Fellowship and travel funds may be especially helpful for students from underrepresented backgrounds, those studying lesser-documented languages, or students preparing for careers in linguistics, language education, or language-based research and policy work.
