Cambridge English supports The International Research Foundation for English Language Education’s (TIRF) Doctoral Dissertation Grants scheme that allows doctoral students who are specialising in the field of English Language Education to be awarded grants up to US $5,000 to fund their studies.
Via its Doctoral Dissertation Grants (DDG) programme, TIRF works with its partners to award funds to deserving junior scholars in the field. The grant allows students to progress their academic careers and to support their studies. Students who want to apply must be enrolled in a doctoral program and must be studying topics such as English as a medium of instruction, language planning and policy, young leaners, language assessment, among several others. They must be advanced to candidacy, and proposals from individuals worldwide are welcomed.
Last year, TIRF-Cambridge Doctoral Dissertation Grants collaboration resulted in the funding of six awardees. Among them, Yi Cao, Haoshan Ren, Yan Zhao, and Soohye Yeom are specialising in language assessment.
Students who want to apply can visit TIRF’s DDG webpage to download the call for proposals and to compile the application. The deadline for proposals is Wednesday 18 May.
