Funding Opportunities

The Nancy and Michael Werner Fellowship in Latin American Studies supports fellowships for graduate students pursuing a master's degree in Latin American Studies in the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies. First preference will be given to students who have a geographical focus on Mexico and second preference will be given to students who are residents of Indiana.

Incoming students are also encouraged to seek out external sources of funding, several of which are detailed on the website of the University Graduate School. Other funded positions are routinely advertised on the Grad Grants website. Immigrants or children of immigrants who are applying to graduate school may qualify for the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans.

As part of our Title VI funding CLACS is pleased to offer travel awards for faculty members who travel for research or conferences related to Latin America and the Caribbean. These awards are open to IU faculty from any campus. Domestic travel awards are for up to $500, while international awards are for up to $1,000. CLACS will prioritize applications from faculty who have not received a travel award previously. (Please note that federal law requires that grant funds be used only to support air travel on U.S. carriers.)

Application Deadline: November 22, 2023

To apply, please fill out this form and attach a one-page project description and budget.
