Internal Grants
LACS Graduate Spring and Summer 2026 Language and Research Grants
The Program in Latin America and Caribbean Studies invites LACS Graduate Students in any year to apply for funding for either language study or research support for spring and summer 2026. There will only be one round of applications this year. Students should apply via this application link. Grants of up to $1,500 will be awarded. Language and research support of any kind that is within Weinberg College reimbursement rules will be considered, including but not limited to language classes or tutoring, research materials, research assistantship (in foreign archives, for example), and research-methods workshops. You must be an active participant within the LACS program to be eligible for funds.
Given current complications with travel, it is highly recommended that applicants familiarize themselves with travel guidance offered by Northwestern’s Office of International Student and Scholar Services, available here.
LACS funds are more limited this year than in the past. LACS, therefore, does not expect to be able to support the entirety of every applicant’s budget but we will make every effort to support the maximum number of applicants. If you already have sufficient funding from another source, please consider not applying this year.
Deadline to apply is Tuesday, May 19. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Jorge Coronado, jcoronado@northwestern.edu.
