Good Neighbor Fund
Permanent residents of soft-currency or developing nations who wish to join the MLA may also apply to have their dues paid by the Good Neighbor Fund. To apply, individuals should send a message stating their annual salary and citing an authority for claiming that they are a resident of a soft-currency or developing nation and should include all contact information. Applications are due by 30 April each year and will be processed in the order received until available funds are depleted. No individual will be eligible to receive assistance for more than five years. Current members who are in contact with potential applicants to the fund should bring this notice to their attention. Applications and requests for information should be addressed to Annie Reiser, coordinator of book prizes and special projects (awards@mla.org).
