be addressed 
-	how you think this research interest would fit with the supervisor and with the

Research on Bilingualism in Theory & Practice, depending on which studentship 
you are applying for. 

* If an applicant for a +3 award has completed a Master's programme which is not 
one that is currently recognised by the ESRC, full details of the research training 
the applicant has completed and how this maps onto the relevant course /

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
