Graduate Program
The Center actively seeks to provide services and information for graduate students seeking to conduct higher degree research in Latin America and the Caribbean. Graduate students at MSU have been awarded research grants to work in Latin American from Fulbright-Hays, the Inter-American Foundation, Tinker Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the Organization of American States, as well as FLAS grants for language study.
Tinker Field Research Grants
The purpose of the CLACS Tinker Field Research Grants is to award graduate students, particularly those with little or no experience in Latin America, with pre-dissertation travel funds (international and in-country) for short stays in Spanish and Portuguese speaking Latin America. The grants are intended to help students acquire knowledge of language and culture, to gather research data, and to develop contacts with scholars and institutions.
