Description: These funds are meant to support currently enrolled Linguistics, Applied Linguistics, and TESOL students in their research and/or professional development.
1. Who can apply?
Any undergraduate or graduate student in good standing (3.50 cumulative GPA) in any of our in-person or online linguistics, applied linguistics, or TESOL programs (including certificate programs) in the Department of English at ASU. Funds may support individual students, student collaborations, and student-faculty collaborations. However, applications must come from students who seek out faculty assistance.
2. What can you apply for?
This is broad and may include support for student research, research clusters, and activities such as reading groups, guest speakers for student-initiated events, and research training (requests for reimbursement will also be considered). In general, these should be research or professional development activities that fall outside the scope of other sources of funding.
Examples: books, materials, software, research training, research equipment, refreshments for an event, invited speaker, conference registration and/or travel (for non-TAs), research travel, professional membership fees, editorial services.
Note: Funds may not be used for stipends or compensating research participants.
