Grants & scholarships

Interested in getting certified? Want to attend a T&I conference or training course, but concerned about the cost? Well, NOTIS would like to help!

Through its Scholarships & Grants Program, NOTIS aims to support its members by facilitating access to essential training and networking opportunities. Please note that NOTIS’s grant and scholarship offerings vary from year to year, depending on the needs, stated and anticipated, of its members. 

Upcoming awards include:

  1. A round of conference grants in summer 2025, designed to allow 6-10 members to attend either the NOTIS Annual Conference or a different T&I conference of their choosing—with considerable financial support from NOTIS. Accepting applications July 1-31! Details here
  2. At least one round of training and/or certification scholarships for NOTIS members, to be announced in January or February of 2026. Stay tuned for details!  


    Keep an eye out for announcements! NOTIS will announce all grant and scholarship rounds via email and social media once when the application window opens, again two weeks later, and one last time 24-48 hours before the deadline. To stay in the know, be sure to subscribe to NOTIS emails (form below) and follow us on social media (icons bottom right).

    Testimonials

    "I appreciate NOTIS so much for giving me the scholarship last year. My funds were low. Though funds are still at minimum, but not at zero as they were through this pandemic. I have grown professionally as a result. I was just starting out putting myself out there as a translator/interpreter, but being part of the NOTIS group through the scholarship program and attending the webinars provided by NOTIS was a big chance for me to discover  I can be a business owner. Thanks, NOTIS!"

     "I fully enjoyed JITF 2021 [ Japan Interpreting and Translation Forum ] — a huge success with over 770 registrants from all over the world! Kudos to the JACI board members and JITF2021 organizers for running a seamless conference. And last but not least, I am tremendously grateful to NOTIS for the Conference Scholarship, which made it possible for me to gain valuable experience at professional meetings of my choice and advance my knowledge and skills as a Japanese interpreter and translator during this challenging time. Thank you very much!"

    Mariko Kageyama (conference grant recipient, 2021) 

    "I am thrilled to be able to attend my first ever American Literary Translators Association (ALTA) conference with NOTIS' help — thank you so much! I will be proud to represent NOTIS and the fantastic community of literary translators we have here in the Pacific Northwest, and I look forward to sharing my conference experiences afterwards."
