The National Council of Organizations of Less Commonly Taught Languages (NCOLCTL) is pleased to announce the awarding of mini-grants to the following individuals and organizations:

While the purposes for which the grants will be used vary, the principal criterion for every award was its use for a project that promotes field building in the Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs). Each of these one-time only grants is for $2000 or less. All awardees have provided a significant personal and/or institutional contribution to the success of the proposed project. The grant recipients are required to submit a final report describing how the grant was used, the results of the project, and a copy of any product stemming from the project.  Final reports that recipients have submitted electronically may be accessed by clicking on the author’s name.

To the extent that Council resources permit, the Council hopes to be able to announce similar annual mini-grant competitions in future years to continue to provide seed money support for educators and scholars in the LCTLs. It is anticipated that competition for such grants will henceforth be announced in the spring, with the results known by the end of May.
