I am a permanent faculty member at a central (federally funded) university in Asia, and I have to attend a conference in Canada. It will cost approximately $ 2000 (USD) – including air-fare, board, lodging, and other expenses. This is a huge amount in my own curency. It is a very prestigious conference, and so it is a great honor to have had my paper accepted there. It would mean a lot for me to be able to attend this conference, and of course, it would be very disappointing to miss it due to a lack of funds. If you know of any agencies, institutes, organizations, trusts, or individuals that provide funding for attending conferences or seminars, please do let me know. The primary focus of the conference is on English language and literature. Thanks in advance to all answerers!
