<div dir="ltr">A few of my colleagues from Mexico and Panama have asked me about opportunities for continuing their linguistic education, with the goal of acquiring skills they can use for language reclamation and maintenance in their home communities. I know very little about the programs in Mexico (some I know are quite prestigious, but I don't know which ones are appropriate for an applied focus), and from what I understand there is no linguistics major at all in Panama. I've encouraged my colleagues to look into opportunities in Bolivia and Colombia for the indigenous universities, and Spain because they have a lot of scholarships for Latin Americans. But I don't really know where in particular to steer them even in those places, or if there are any good North American programs with scholarships available for Latin Americans. I'd be interested in any of y'all's suggestions!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all">
