Student Attendance
Scholarships for ATA's
Annual Conference
In 2019, the American Foundation for Translation
and Interpretation (AFTI) launched its new Conference
Attendance Scholarship, awarding five scholarships
to students or recent graduates of translation studies
programs to help defray the cost of attending ATA's Annual
Conference. The scholarships are funded from donations
made in the name of Edith Losa, who served ATA as
president-elect and then president from 1991 to 1995.
(Geoff Koby, president of the American Foundation for
Translation and Interpretation, delivered the following
remarks during ATA's 61st Annual Conference.)
Due to the hardships resulting from the pandemic, the
three scholarships awarded in 2020 cover the full cost of
attending ATA's 61st Annual Conference.
