Dear Professor Janoski-Haehlen,

I am writing to provide notice of the Laura Bassi Scholarship’s Winter 2019 round of funding and would be grateful if, as before, you could share the details with your department, particularly master’s and doctoral candidates, as well as junior academics. The description is pasted below with the updated deadlines:

The Laura Bassi Scholarship, which awards a total of $8,000 thrice per annum, was established by Editing Press in 2018 with the aim of providing editorial assistance to postgraduates and junior academics whose research focuses on neglected topics of study, broadly construed. The scholarships are open to every discipline and the next round of funding will be awarded in December 2019:

    Winter 2019
    Application deadline: 25 November 2019
    Results: 15 December 2019

All currently enrolled master’s and doctoral candidates are eligible to apply, as are academics in the first five years of their employment. Applicants are required to submit a completed application form along with their CV through the application portal by the relevant deadline. Further details, previous winners, and the application portal can be found at: https://nam03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fediting.press%2Fbassi&data=02%7C01%7Cejanoskihaehlen%40uakron.edu%7Cad3dc72a5fd54122fa4b08d7525bcfc5%7Ce8575dedd7f94ecea4aa0b32991aeedd%7C0%7C0%7C637068426595907558&sdata=MgVv3Uzjs4NpoM3JKEhLHoNoDQQlHLJwU8x7BVJEt9M%3D&reserved=0

Announcing the 2019-2010 American Indian Law Review National Writing Competition

This year’s American Indian Law Review national writing competition is now welcoming papers from students at accredited law schools in the United States and Canada.  Papers will be accepted on any legal issue specifically concerning American Indians or other indigenous peoples.  Three cash prizes will be awarded: $1,000 for first place, $500 for second place, and $250 for third place.  Each of the three winning authors will also be awarded an eBook copy of Cohen’s Handbook of Federal Indian Law, provided by LexisNexis.

The deadline for entries is Friday, February 28, 2020, at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The American Indian Law Review has proudly served Native and legal communities since 1973, and each year at this time we encourage law students nationwide to participate in this, the longest-running competition of its kind.  Papers will be judged by a panel of American Indian law scholars and by the editors of the Review.

For further information on eligibility, entry requirements, and judging criteria, see the attached PDF rules sheet or the AILR writing competition website at http://www.ailr.net/writecomp.

Could you please circulate this announcement to your students?
