SLDR - Grants

The winter school will be open for anyone who is interested in Saami languages, language documentation and revitalization. Even students specializing in other minority languages of Northern Europe are invited to participate. We hope to attract students who are new to language documentation as well as scholars or language activists who are already engaged in documentation and revitalization efforts. Advanced students from the Saami communities will be particularly encouraged to apply.

If you wish to attend the winter school, and you are not affiliated with an institution which can cover your travel costs, you may apply for a grant. Grants cover travel to/from Bodø (including visa, if needed), accomodation in a shared double room and an additional allowance for three daily meals.
It is also possible to apply for subsidies to cover parts of your travel and living costs.
Depending on the total sum of the applied grants, we can subsidize a maximum of around 20 participants.

In order to apply, you will need to supply the following information (in addition to your registration):

-A one-page-statement explaning your reasons for applying for the winter school

-The name of an academic from a university or a leader of a Saami institution who is willing to provide a reference in support of your application

-The expected costs of your travel to and from the Winter School, including costs of visa application, transfer from home to nearest airport etc.

 

The language for the application should be English or any of the Saami languages. Please send the details as soon as possible to the following address (preferable as email-attachment):
