LAK25 Scholarship
LAK25 Scholarships Now Available!
Important Dates:
- In-Person Participation Applications due December 11, 2024
SoLAR will again be supporting individuals who would otherwise not be able to attend the conference in person. Please note that numbers are extremely limited as they include contribution towards travel, accommodation and registration costs.
Please note that this is a highly competitive scholarship application. Please be sure to use the opportunities within the form to provide as much detail regarding your interest in learning analytics and your individual situation as possible. Factors such as having previously received a SoLAR scholarship and/or past LAK attendance may be considered by the Scholarship Working Group.
The purpose of the SoLAR Conference Scholarship is to support individuals working in or interested in the field of learning analytics (e.g., researchers, graduate students, teachers, and practitioners) who,
- live and work in regions of the world that are underrepresented at LAK
- are underrepresented in higher education
- cannot afford the registration fee by themselves / would not get reimbursed by their institution
Therefore, in order to increase the diversity of LAK attendees, SoLAR will be collecting applications for conference scholarships to be awarded to successful applicants. Preference will be given to applicants who:
- Are able to and will attend the full conference.
- Are willing to write a short summary about their experience at LAK for SoLAR if requested.
- Have limited or no opportunities to attend the conference without the scholarship (e.g. because they are living / studying / employed in a country underrepresented at LAK).
In order to apply for the SoLAR Conference Scholarship, please fill out the form below. You MUST submit the application by December 11 to allow for processing and any associated visa processes. The applications will be reviewed by the Inclusion working group starting December 12.

REVIEW PROCESS
The applications will be reviewed by the Inclusion Working Group, sub-committee of the SoLAR Executive. The applicants will be selected on the basis of demonstrated need and the quality of the application. All applicants looking to attend in person MUST have submitted all materials by December 11 to be considered. Award notifications will be sent out prior to the early bird deadline to allow all participants to still take advantage of the early bird deadline if funding allows.
