Name: American Translators Association Student/Translation Awards (ATA / AFTI)
Award Amount: Varies
Information And Eligibility:
The American Translators Association, through its affiliated foundation American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation (AFTI), offers several student-oriented awards and scholarships aimed at supporting emerging translators and interpreters. These awards are intended to help students or recent graduates in translation/interpreting-related programs by providing financial support for translation projects, facilitating attendance at professional conferences, or granting recognition for exceptional work in literary or scientific/technical translation.
Among the key opportunities:
– The Student Translation Award offers a grant-in-aid for a literary or scientific/technical translation project undertaken by a student (undergraduate or graduate) or a group of students. Projects must involve translation from a foreign language into English, and computerized or machine-only translations are not eligible — the aim is to support human translation efforts with potential for publication, educational use, or conference presentation.
– The AFTI First‑Time ATA Conference Attendee Student Scholarship provides a modest stipend (e.g., $500) to help defray the cost of attending the ATA Annual Conference. This is targeted at current students or recent graduates in translation/interpreting studies who have not previously attended the conference.
These awards are part of ATA/AFTI’s broader effort to foster new talent in translation and interpretation, support academic development, and encourage future professionals to engage with the language services community.
