Subject: The Duolingo Grants for Master's Theses in Language Learning with Technology

 
The Duolingo Grant Program supports master's thesis research in second or
foreign language learning with technology. Applicants should be completing
research for a master's degree, and their thesis research proposals should
have been approved by the relevant departmental authorities at their
institutions on or before May 31, 2021. The project must be a thesis of
original research or equivalent. Duolingo will award up to 5 master's thesis
grants each year in the amount of US$1,000 per grant. The grant program is
open to master's candidates in the United States for research into the
learning of any language with technology.

Materials to submit
- A summary of the master's thesis research looking into a topic in the field
of language learning with technology (no more than two single-spaced pages,
including references and appendices). The summary must include an introduction
to the topic, a brief literature review, research questions, research
methodology, and implications of the potential findings.
- An official letter of support from the applicant's research supervisor
confirming the approval of the research proposal by a faculty committee at
their institution and the high likelihood of successful completion of the
project. A detailed letter of recommendation is not required.

How to apply
- Applicants: Email your application as a PDF attachment to
researchgrants at duolingo.com with the subject line “[your last name] Master’s
Grant Application.”
- Supervisors: Email your letter of recommendation as a PDF attachment to
researchgrants at duolingo.com with the subject line “[applicant’s last name]
Master’s Grant
Recommendation.” The letter of recommendation must come directly from the
supervisor.

Timeline
Applications should be submitted by 11:59 p.m. PT, May 31, 2021. Notifications
will be sent out by August 31, 2021.

Grant recipients are required to submit a one-page summary of their master's
research within three months of completion. The summary should be written for
a general audience.
