AISLS Grants for Language Instruction

The AISLS Colombo center has received a small grant from the US Department
of Education to support US-based scholars who wish to acquire or improve
language skills. Limited funds are available to defray the costs of
language instruction in Sinhala, Tamil, Pali, or Arabic. The instruction
must take place in Sri Lanka and be obtained by September 30, 2007. This
program cannot cover translation costs, but it can cover instruction that
takes the form of working with a tutor to translate texts or other
material. These awards are available only to individual members of the
AISLS resident in the US who hold a PhD or equivalent qualification or who
are enrolled in a graduate program at a US university; faculty members or
graduate students at AISLS member institutions; or recipients of a CAORC
multi-country fellowship. Previous recipients of AISLS language
instruction grants are eligible.

To apply, please prepare a brief statement (one page or less) that includes a
description of the proposed instruction and how it supports your long-range
educational or research plans, a proposed timetable, and a budget. The maximum
award will be $300. However, increases may be possible if there are surplus
funds. Proposals will be considered on an ongoing basis until the funds are
exhausted. Please send your proposal to John Rogers (rogersjohnd at aol.com)
