Deadline Approaching for Latin American and Latino Studies Program Research Awards

Photo Submitted

The Latin American and Latino Studies Program at the University of Arkansas is funding three awards up to $1,000 each to fund research in Latin America or research related to LatinX studies and/or conference travel.

The selected students will need to provide an abstract of research goals and, in the case of a conference, detail their proposed presentation and the significance of the conference to their research/professionalization (and upon return submit a one-page write-up concerning their achievements).

The application process is open to all full-time graduate students and aims to enhance diversity in graduate professionalization. Preference will be given to underrepresented communities (i.e., first generation students, members of ethnic minority groups, students with a documented disability, and students with demonstrated financial need).

To be considered, candidates must submit a one-page proposal, an itemized budget, and a letter of recommendation by Saturday, Feb. 15 to Steven Rosales, chair of the LALS awards committee, at rosales@uark.edu.
