Opportunities for Giving to CU Linguistics

Graduate Student Research Fund

In the spring of 2007, the Linguistics Department created a Graduate Student Research fund. The fund provides support to students conducting fieldwork, whether abroad or in the US, and travel funds for graduate students presenting papers at conferences. The initial amount of the Fund was $20,000. The fund has since been supplemented by a $3000 contribution from the Graduate School. In the first year, the fund supported seven graduate students in their fieldwork or conference presentations. Donations to this area will help secure travel and research support that is vital for the professional development of our students.
