Constance McCullough International Research Grant
The Constance McCullough International Research Grant, which carries a monetary prize of US$2,000, is awarded annually to assist a member of the International Literacy Association in the investigation of reading-related problems and to encourage international professional development activities that are carried out in countries outside of the U.S. or Canada. This grant represents a specific means for working toward as many as three articulated ILA goals: advocacy, professional development, and emerging global issues.
This grant is no longer active.
