Recipients of the Third Annual Brazil Initiation Scholarship Competition
The Brazilian Studies Association is pleased to announce the winners of the third annual competition for our Brazil Initiation Scholarships (BIS). The Brazil Initiation Scholarship (BIS) is a key component of BRASA’s agenda to expand Brazilian Studies in the United States. BRASA invites applications from graduate and undergraduate students for a one-time $1,500 travel scholarship to do exploratory research or language study in Brazil. This scholarship targets aspiring Brazilianists with relatively little or no experience in Brazil. It seeks to contribute to the student’s initial trip (for a period from six weeks to three months), to heighten the student’s interest in Brazil, and deepen his/her commitment to Brazilian studies in the United States. Students are encouraged to combine this scholarship with other grants or awards. This year's recipients will be recognized during the awards ceremony of Tenth BRASA International Congress in Brasília in July 2010.
