Apply For The IATEFL Gill Sturtridge First Time Speaker Scholarship

This scholarship is awarded from the donations given in her memory by the family and friends of Gill Sturtridge. The purpose of this scholarship is to encourage a member of IATEFL to give his/her first talk at an IATEFL Conference.

The scholarship consists of:

  • registration for a Pre-Conference Event of the winner’s choice
  • registration for the IATEFL Conference
  • GBP 1000.00 towards conference related expenses

To qualify you must:

  • be a newcomer to the profession with between three and ten years’ experience in ELT
  • agree to give a talk at the IATEFL Conference
  • be an Individual, Student, Retired, Early Career Teacher or Basic member of IATEFL who has not previously presented at the IATEFL Conference
  • agree to write a 250 – 500-word article by the end of May 2025 for possible publication in IATEFL Voices. You may like to write about the highlights of the conference or about how attending the conference has affected your approach to work in your home country.
Being a member of IATEFL has helped me build a network of professional colleagues, develop my knowledge, and also the chance to make my first presentation at an international conference.
