Reminder: AILDI Fellowships

[Susan Penfield]

All,
This summer, the American Indian Language Development Institute (AILDI),
which will be held as always in Tucson, Arizona (June 6-June 28) will be
offering 20 fully funded fellowships (housing, tuition, more) for those who
want to work toward securing a grant through the Documenting Endangered
Languages Program (DEL) offered by NSF/NEH.

Applicants must apply both to AILDI generally and specifically for the
fellowships. The general description for this program is below --but please
check out the AILDI website for more information and for application
materials: www.u.arizona.edu/~aildi <http://www.u.arizona.edu/%7Eaildi>.



   - Applicants for these fellowships will be chosen based on the
   demonstrated need in their community both for language documentation and
   funding to support language documentation efforts. We particularly encourage
   applicants from communities whose languages are the most endangered.
   Fellowships will be awarded to two members of each community to help ensure
   the successful completion of grant submission and documentation practices
   when the applicants return home. The goal of this program is  1) to
   help community members produce a draft of a grant while at AILDI and
   continue to prepare it for submission to NSF/NEH Documenting Endangered
   Languages Program and to 2) train fellowships students in the 'best
   practices' related to language documentation.(Language documentation course
   to be taught by Philip CashCash of ILAT fame!)


   - Please apply by* March 15, 2006*.   If you have questions you may
   direct them to the AILDI office or to the project directors, Drs. Ofelia
   Zepeda and Susan Penfield. Dr. Zepeda can be reached at *
