The awards are intended to assist with the purchase of materials for use in the classroom or study areas that will assist in expanding the students' knowledge and interest in Hispanic subjects, or to underwrite the cost of guest instructors or lecturers brought to campus for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of Hispanic culture, politics and/or business.

Modern Languages Fund
The Modern Languages Fund (MLF) was established by Betty and David A. Jones to enhance foreign language learning at the University of Louisville. Classical and Modern Languages faculty are invited to apply for subsidies of projects that help them maintain competence in their principal foreign language teaching area, or to develop or improve competence in another.
A small portion of the annual MLF budget is reserved for on‐campus program enhancements such as foreign film series, language club activities, and language and culture festivals. In the case of campus visitors (speakers, artists, native informants), in view of the costs associated with travel and lodging and the limited funds for program enhancements, such projects will have to draw on multiple sources. In the case of materials, equipment and services, applications must explain exactly how these will be used and by whom. Applications for program enhancements must be as detailed as any other MLF application and must be made by the regular application deadline since “emergency funds” are no longer available.
APPLICATION PERIOD: January 17 - February 18 at 11:59PM
HOW TO APPLY
