Scholarships to attend the Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America

Happy winter break!

The Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science is excited to announce a limited number of scholarships to attend the Annual Meeting of the Linguistic Society of America, which will be held virtually from Jan 7-10, 2021.

If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please submit a (roughly) 2-paragraph application via email to both michael.diercks@pomona.edu and elizabeth.contreras@pomona.edu. In your application, please explain which talks/sessions you are interested in attending, and why (o nline schedule is available here). The application is not meant to be long and involved, but we would like you to have looked at the schedule and be able to explain to us what interests you at the conference.

Our first due date is Friday, Dec. 18th. All applications that are submitted by that date will be considered. If funds remain available, we will consider applications right up until the date of the conference.

Let me know if you have questions!

Best,

Michael Diercks

Chair, Linguistics and Cognitive Science
