Assistance for Regular and Life Members Residing outside the United States and Canada Traveling to the 2008 ConventionThe Executive Council has voted to allot funds from the Good Neighbor Fund to provide partial travel reimbursement of $300 to regular and life members residing outside the United States and Canada who are attending the 2008 convention in San Francisco. To be eligible, applicants must have been members of the MLA by 30 June 2007 and must be nonstudent members of the MLA by 30 June 2008. Funds are available to cover awards to up to 150 members; if more apply, priority will be given to applicants who are in the lowest dues categories, who do not receive travel funds from their institutions, or who have not received an MLA travel grant of any kind in the previous five years. If necessary, recipients will be selected in a random manner. Eligible applicants not selected in 2008 will be given priority in 2009, provided that they apply and still meet the eligibility requirements. Grant recipients are eligible once every three years.To apply by mail, members should send their contact information along with a brief statement stipulating whether they are receiving travel funds from their institutions. Applications must reach the MLA by 1 November 2008, by mail to the Office of Special Projects at the MLA office or by fax to 646 835-4067. Fax transmissions may be used to meet the deadline, but they must be followed by signed applications. (Applications by e-mail will not be accepted.)
