Scholarship for JALT2020

The application period for this year is closed. Thank you.
JALT wants to provide opportunities for JALT members who would like to present at our International Conference but are unable to due to a lack of financial support, so the JALT2020 Conference Team will offer three fee-waiver scholarships.
Scholarship Details
Free entry to the conference from November 16th to 23rd, 2020.
Eligibility:
You must not have access to funding from any external source (external to JALT, such as a research budget from your employer) that could be used to cover conference fees. We rely on your honesty for this.

JALT wants to provide opportunities for JALT members who would like to present at our International Conference but are unable to due to a lack of financial support. In 150-200 words, please tell us a little about your background and how the fee waiver scholarship would help you. Note: You may also like to approach your JALT SIG or Chapter for funding as some groups have grants available that could help with transportation and accommodation.
In 150-200 words, please tell us what you would contribute to JALT2020 and what you would gain from attending.
We hope these scholarships will help reduce financial barriers that would otherwise prevent the three recipients from sharing their work. An internal vetting committee will determine who receives the scholarships and their names will be announced on the JALT2020 website by the end of September. We wish you good luck with your application.
