Academic Staff Professional Development Grants

Pending funding, the Language Institute will offer a small grant program to support professional development activities by UW-Madison academic staff who teach or advise students studying languages other than English or direct or coordinate language programs; and who are affiliated with the Language Institute.

The grant is intended to support professional development activities that align with the mission of the Language Institute.

Information on Language Institute grants in academic year 2024-25 is coming soon.
