JALT wants to provide opportunities for JALT members who would like to present at our International Conference but are unable to due to a lack of financial support, so the JALT2018 Conference Team offered three fee-waiver scholarships. Each year, many of our presenters are able to attend because they receive financial support from their employer or are eligible for external grants, yet others cannot because they do not receive any funding. To ensure more diverse voices could be heard, we created a new fee-waiver scholarship system for JALT member who do not receive any financial assistance outside of JALT but have excellent presentations that were accepted for the conference. We are very pleased to announce the three winners and look forward to hearing about their work in our field at JALT2018.
The winners of JALT2018 scholarship (in alphabetical order):
1. Lauren Benward
2. Alexandra Burke
3. Christopher Hollis
