Summer Funding for LGCS Majors

Hello Ling/Cog Sci majors,

The Linguistics and Cognitive Science Department has a modest amount of funds that can be used for our majors to do summer research or attend summer institutes. In order to request funds, please complete the application at: https://forms.gle/miKcv4d9WFfoc72G8.  The deadline to submit your request is Monday, April 25, after which we will review the applications and make decisions about funding.

We will not have enough money to fully fund all requests and will need to allocate the funds according to criteria including the research you will be doing, the type of program/event you will attend, your rationale, the amount of the request, and how well developed your application is, among other factors.

Please note that each college may have rules that limit students from holding multiple sources of funding. For example, Pomona students cannot receive funds from more than one Pomona-funded opportunity.

Feel free to ask me if you have any questions!  We look forward to seeing your applications.

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 (online 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
