CoLang scholarships from ELF for tribal members

[Doug Whalen]

Dear ILAT Community,

The Endangered Language Fund would like to send out a reminder that registration for CoLang 2012 (Collaborative Language Research) is still underway.  The CoLang Institute consists of a two-week series of courses and workshops in language documentation, and an optional four-week "practicum" working with native speakers of one of four languages (Cherokee, Tlingit, Uda or Amazigh (Berber)). 

The Institute will take place at the University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, from June 18 - July 27, 2012.  For more information and registration, please visit the CoLang site here. 

 There are two scholarships for CoLang 2012 available through the Endangered Language Fund. 

 The first is for tribal members of those tribes that are eligible for the Native Voices Endowment.  The list of eligible tribes for this funding can be found here. 

 The second will be for an enrolled member of any other US tribe. 

 For both funding opportunities, please send us an email stating your tribe and proof of enrollment; whether you want to take just the classes or the classes plus a language practicum; and what your expectations are for how the experience at CoLang might to affect your work with your language.

 Applications to ELF (just the brief email mentioned above) are due 20 April.  We will announce awards by 23 April. Registration at CoLang must be completed by 30 April.

 Sincerely, Doug Whalen DhW
