1 November Deadline for Convention Travel Grants

The MLA offers financial assistance to eligible non-tenure-track or unemployed members, regular or life members residing abroad, and graduate student members. The $300 grants partially reimburse expenses for travel to the MLA convention, which will be held in Boston from 3 to 6 January 2013.

Financial assistance for travel to the convention is partially supported by member contributions to the Professional Education Assistance Funds and the Good Neighbor Fund. If you can, please make a donation to help those who need assistance; your contribution is tax-deductible. Please refer questions to Annie Reiser at awards@mla.org.
