Purpose
The goal of the Fund for the Future of Applied Linguistics (FFAL) has been to create an endowment fund to support graduate student awards to attend AAAL annual conferences. In this way, AAAL can offer an important growth opportunity for outstanding graduate students who will be the future of our profession.
Background
FFAL was established at the spring 2000 meeting of the AAAL Executive Meeting in Vancouver. The goal was to begin a public fund-raising campaign in fall 2000 and end the campaign in spring of 2003 with the goal of raising $100,000 for the endowment fund. The goal was officially met in summer of 2003 and the initial fund-raising campaign was ended. We would like to thank the more than 150 individual AAAL members and institutional contributors for their support during this campaign.
Success of the FFAL campaign is especially indebted to Multilingual Matters, Educational Testing Service, Wilga Rivers and Grabe/Stoller for contributing major gifts that each funds a graduate student every year. This generosity is recognized by named awards:
- The Multilingual Matters Graduate Student Award
- The Educational Testing Service Graduate Student Award
- The Wilga Rivers Award
- The Grabe/Stoller Award
