About CAL

G. Richard Tucker Fellowship

The G. Richard Tucker Fellowship program for master’s and doctoral students in language-related fields is now entering its 18th year.

During the period of June 2009 through May 2010, including a four-week residency at CAL in Washington, DC, the Fellow will interact with senior staff members on one of CAL's existing research projects or on a suitable project suggested by the Fellow. The fellowship pays a stipend plus travel expenses. Priority will be given to proposals that focus on all types of language education and testing or on language issues related to minorities in the United States or Canada.

Qualifications

The competition is open to candidates for a master's or doctoral degree in any field that is concerned with the study of language. Minorities are especially encouraged to apply. Applicants must be currently enrolled in a degree program in the United States or Canada and must have completed the equivalent of at least one year of full-time graduate study.

About the G. Richard Tucker Fellowship

The Tucker fellowship was established in 1992 in honor of Dr. G. Richard Tucker, CAL’s president from 1979 to 1991 and currently Paul Mellon Professor of Applied Linguistics and Head of the Department of Modern Languages at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. One of the most positive effects of this fellowship is the opportunity to work in an apprentice-like fashion in a real-world way with scholars who are experts in their field.
