Fund for Latino Scholarship

The Fund for Latino Scholarship is an APSA Centennial Center Research Grant with the primary goal to encourage and support the recruitment, retention, and promotion of political science students and scholars who study and research Latina/o politics. The fund awards grants to initiatives that provide professional opportunities and financial assistance to undergraduate and graduate students and scholars who study and research on political science topics related to Latina/o politics. It also supports the teaching, research and publishing activities of contingent, junior-level, tenure track, and other political science faculty whose main area of academic focus is Latina/o politics. Additionally, the fund supports research projects on Latino/a politics. Grants are made to individuals, institutions, and projects whose purposes most clearly match the goals of the Fund and whose proposals most persuasively demonstrate capacity for successful completion.
