The Society for Language Development invites applications for the SLD Student Award. This award is intended to help defray the costs of attending the Symposium, for graduate students who are presenting papers or posters at BUCLD. The award includes a year's
free membership in the Society for Language Development, free admission to this year's SLD Symposium, and a cash award of $75. Applicants should send a CV and their accepted BUCLD abstract (paper, poster, or alternate status) by email to Cynthia Fisher at
<a href="mailto:clfishe@illinois.edu"><span style="color:blue">clfishe@illinois.edu</span></a> ; applications are due by Oct 7. Up to two graduate students whose CVs show a record of achievement and of sustained interest in interdisciplinary research will be
selected. Award recipients will be notified by email before the conference (approximately Oct 15), and the awards will be announced at the SLD Symposium on Thursday, November 2.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
