Description

The GLOCAL – The Conference of African Linguistic Anthropology seeks to assist individuals who are not in a position to finance their own travel to and registration for The GLOCAL conference, as well as other expenses pertaining to the GLOCAL conference. The GLOCAL is strictly non profit, and all surplus monies sourced by grants must be directed to assisting those requiring funding, and hence to increase the visibility of and strength of work in African Linguistic Anthropology.

Criteria

The awarded individuals must satisfy a range of criteria, which include the following

  • Lowered socioeconomic conditions (as determined by the OECD)

  • Exceptional scholarly work relevant to the GLOCAL

  • Not be receiving other financial support for attending the GLOCAL

Review procedure

The GLOCAL funding review committee will scrutinize and review every application and will revert to the applicant at the appropriate time so to discuss the possibility of awarding the funding.

Competitiveness

The applications for funding surpass several thousand annually, that is, for every GLOCAL, and hence, the competition for funding is strong. The GLOCAL however urges applicants to not be deterred by competition, and to submit applications for funding.

Please be reminded that we can not fund the presentations for which the author has found a replacement reader.
