be awarded across the two categories. Within each category, at least one
scholarship will be awarded to an international graduate student based outside
the US.

due by June 22nd and should be submitted electronically to info@researchslce.org; self-nominations are
welcome. All nominees and scholarship applicants will be notified of their status

*** Serve on a Recognition Committee ***
IARSLCE
invites members to participate in the review process that will determine the
recipients for the recognitions and scholarships the Association will confer
this year. Review committees are comprised of Board members, past recipients,
and IARSLCE members in good standing.

engagement, have been involved with the Association for two or more years, and
have no conflicts of interest within the category they review. We encourage
graduate students to apply to serve as reviewers.
If you are interested in serving, please submit electronically to info@researchslce.org: (a) your name, role/position, and contact information, (b) a brief description of your previous and/or desired involvement with IARSLCE, (c) and a ranking of your review assignment preferences across the 5 committees (first choice, second choice, third choice, etc. across: graduate student scholarships, dissertation, community-engaged research team, early career, and distinguished career).
