General Guidelines for Scholarships

IATEFL is providing an increasing number of different scholarhships for English language teaching professionals. so you need to read carefully both these general guidelines and the specific conditions for each scholarship you wish to apply for. We're sorry but if you don't keep to the conditions and deadlines yours scholarship applications cannot be considered. Our scholarship deadline is usually in September each year. This year it is18th September 2009. But please note that:

BESIG Conference Scholarships have a July deadline and are for attendance at the BESIG conference in the autumn. They are not for the main conference
Consultants-E Online IATEFL Scholarship also has different deadlines and you can win a course not a conference attendance
John Haycraft Classroom Exploration Scholarships have a different deadline, June 3rd 2010 for the Brighton Conference 2011
you cannot win the same scholarship twice
and if you have won a scholarship already, you cannot apply for another award until 3 conferences have passed

If you are applying for more than one scholarship, you only need to send one photograph. If you are a winner, this photograph will be printed in the conference brochure and on the scholars' poster. So, while we ask for a passport-sized photo, it shouldn't be passport-glum.

Many scholarships now include as part of the award a year's IATEFL membership. If you are already a member and you win one of these awards, the payment will cover your next year's membership.

All applicants for each scholarship will be informed by email of the result of the selection procedure at the stated date. So, stand by for the news and if you are a winner, let us know immediately whether or not you will accept the award.

If you are a winner, we will discuss details of how the award is to be paid once you have confirmed your acceptance. Most of the award is paid at conference but a proportion can be paid in advance to help with your travel costs.
