Assistance for Regular and Life Members Residing outside the United States and Canada Traveling to the January 2024 Convention
The Executive Council has voted to allot funds from the Good Neighbor Fund to provide partial travel reimbursement of $400 to regular and life members permanently residing outside the United States and Canada who are attending the January 2024 convention. To be eligible, applicants must be current nonstudent MLA members and must have been MLA members the previous year. Applicants may only receive the travel grant once every three years. Funds are available to cover a limited number of awards.
Members may apply online from early September through 1 November. For further information, call or write the office of programs (646 576-5141; awards@mla.org).
MLA members who serve on council-appointed standing committees or on the Delegate Assembly may apply for a travel grant each year of their term. Only those who meet all eligibility requirements can receive a grant. To apply for a grant, these members should write to awards@mla.org.
Limited funding is available to support travel for waived nonmember participants who need financial assistance. Waived nonmembers who permanently reside outside the United States or Canada and who have registered for the convention may apply for partial travel reimbursement of up to $400. For more information and to apply, please contact awards@mla.org. The deadline for applications is 1 November.
