Each individual receives $4,000 immediately prior to entering graduate school and an additional $30,000 while attending graduate school. There are no geographic restrictions on the use of the scholarship, and recipients are allowed to supplement the award with other scholarships, assistantships and research grants.
The Cobell Scholarship: The Cobell Scholarship is annual, non-renewable, and available to any post-secondary (after high school) student who is: an enrolled member of a US Federally-recognized Tribe, enrolled in or plans to enroll in full-time study and is degree-seeking while attending any nationally, regionally and industry accredited non-profit, public and private, institution.
NSF Dynamic Language Infrastructure - NEH Documenting Endangered Languages (DLI-DEL): This program is funded by the NSF and NEH. The program supports projects that contribute to data management and archiving, and to the development of the next generation of researchers. Funding can support fieldwork and other activities relevant to the digital recording, documentation and analysis, and archiving of endangered language data, including the preparation of lexicons, grammars, text samples, and databases. Funding is available in the form of one- to three-year senior research grants and conference proposals. Fellowship support is available through a separate funding opportunity administered by NEH.
Endangered Language Fund: Offers two types of grants:
Language Legacies - available to researchers from any country. Grant is for one year, and averages about $2,500. Awards (including The Bright Award and The Isenberg Award) are given.
Native Voices - available to researchers who are enrolled tribal members or employees at tribal colleges. Work must be documenting and revitalizing the language of tribes that came into contact with the Lewis and Clark expedition.
Endangered Languages Documentation Programme: The Endangered Languages Documentation Programme (ELDP) provides grants world wide for the documentation of endangered languages. Individuals regardless of nationality or host institution can apply to the program. They offer four different grant types and run one granting cycle per year opening 15th July each year.
Foundation for Endangered Languages: The Foundation is committed to raising awareness of endangered languages and supporting revitalization and preservation of endangered languages through all channels and media. The Foundation awards grants to projects that further its aims as and when its funds permit. Most awards average about $1,000. Smaller proposals will have a better chance of receiving funding.
Fulbright-Hays Program: The Program supports research and training efforts overseas, which focus on non-Western foreign languages and area studies.
Fulbright U.S. Student Program: The Fulbright U.S. Student Program provides grants for individually designed study/research projects or for English Teaching Assistant Programs. During their grants, Fulbrighters will meet, work, live with and learn from the people of the host country, sharing daily experiences.
The Jacobs Research Fund: The Kinkade Language and Culture Foundation (KLF) and the Jacobs Research Funds (JRF) are sister organizations that fund linguistic and anthropological research with aboriginal peoples of North and South America.
The Kinkade Language Fund: The Kinkade Language and Culture Foundation (KLF) and the Jacobs Research Funds (JRF) are sister organizations that fund linguistic and anthropological research with aboriginal peoples of North and South America. The KLF prioritizes projects that focus on peoples of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), that produce new data, or that, in the Board's judgement, would have been high priority for Dale Kinkade. Of lower priority are projects on American peoples outside the PNW, or that only analyze or present previously gathered data.
National Science Foundation: The Linguistics Program supports all types of scientific research that focuses on human language as an object of investigation. The program supports research on the syntactic, semantic, morphological, phonetic, and phonological properties of individual languages and of language in general. It also encourages investigation of linguistic questions that are interdisciplinary in nature: the psychological processes involved in the production, perception, and comprehension of language; the development of linguistic capacities in children; social and cultural factors in language use, variation, and change; the acoustics and physiology of speech; computational approaches to the study of language; and the biological bases of language in the brain.
Phillips Fund for Native American Research: The Phillips Fund of the American Philosophical Society provides grants for research in Native American linguistics, ethnohistory, and the history of studies of Native Americans, in the continental United States and Canada. The grants are intended for such costs as travel, audio and video recordings, and consultants' fees. Grants are not made for projects in archaeology, ethnography, or psycholinguistics; for the purchase of permanent equipment; or for the preparation of pedagogical materials. The committee distinguishes ethnohistory from contemporary ethnography as the study of cultures and cultural change through time.
Wenner-Gren Dissertation Fieldwork Grants: Dissertation Fieldwork Grants are awarded to aid doctoral or thesis research. The program contributes to the Foundation's overall mission to support basic research in anthropology and to ensure that the discipline continues to be a source of vibrant and significant work that furthers our understanding of humanity's cultural and biological origins, development, and variation.
