The IPA announces 20 student members receiving Gösta Bruce Scholarships for participation in ICPhS-2015.

Congratulations!

These 20 scholarships total €5000 and are funded by the Gösta Bruce Memorial Fund, which honors the previous IPA president. Many thanks to all who have donated to the Fund this year, making possible this large number of awards.

With the 22 IPA Student Awards announced earlier, the Gösta Bruce Scholarships bring to 42 the total number of student awards for ICPhS-2015 from the Association.

The IPA certificate exam will be offered twice in summer 2015 - in Glasgow on 9 August, and in London on 1 September. *The deadlines for registering for these offerings are 9 JUNE for Glasgow and 1 AUGUST for London.* Student members of the IPA pay only half the regular fee for the exam. For more information about the exam, and to register, go to: https://www.internationalphoneticassociation.org/content/ipa-exam.

The IPA invites applications for Gösta Bruce Scholarships for ICPhS-2015. These scholarships are supported by donations to the Gösta Bruce Memorial Fund, which honors the previous IPA president, and are awarded every four years for ICPhS. They are meant to subsidize students’ travel costs, and are paid directly to the student winners. This year a total of €5000 will be awarded. Awards will be for €350, €200, or €100, depending on travel distance. We expect to give approximately 10 awards of €350, 5 of €200, and 5 of €100. By the terms of the Fund, half of the awards will be for research on prosody, and half for other areas of phonetics.

Current student members of the IPA who are first or sole author of a paper or poster, presented by the student at ICPhS-2015, who have *not been awarded a 2015 IPA Student Award*, and who did *not receive a Gösta Bruce Scholarship for ICPhS-2011*, are eligible to apply. To apply, please email the Secretary (keating@humnet.ucla.edu) a copy of your accepted ICPhS paper (and if it is not clear from the title, please note if your paper is about prosody), plus a brief statement of where you will be traveling from, the cost of your travel to/from Glasgow, and what other funding you have available. Finally, please include the name and email address of your supervisor for the research reported in your paper. The deadline for applications is Sunday June 14.
