Call for Student Papers
for Sigma Delta Pi’s 15th Annual Student Session
at the 109th Conference of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP)
Lisbon, Portugal
June 22-25, 2027
Student Members of active Sigma Delta Pi chapters are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute presentation on your chapter’s “best practices” that focus on Sigma Delta Pi activities at your local institution. We strongly encourage proposals from current student members/officers who are actively involved in initiating, organizing, executing, and/or participating in Sigma Delta Pi activities at their institutions. Members who have already graduated at the time of application are not eligible.
By Wednesday, October 14, 2026, please e-mail the following to delmastromp@cofc.edu:
1) your full name
2) name of your Sigma Delta Pi chapter and college/university
3) name of your chapter adviser
4) title of your proposed presentation
5) summary of your proposed presentation in Spanish or English (no longer than 150 words)
Final decisions will be communicated in November 2026.
Accepted student participants will receive a $600 travel stipend plus paid conference registration (early bird rate) courtesy of Sigma Delta Pi and complimentary student AATSP membership, courtesy of the AATSP. However, accepted participants are expected to secure travel-related funding for all remaining expenses through their college/university, either via the academic departments, the dean’s or provost’s office, the office of student activities, or other institutional sources. Colleges/universities often provide funding for students presenting at conferences. The chapter adviser can assist with exploring these funding options. Sigma Delta Pi is unable to provide monetary support beyond the $600 travel stipend and conference registration (early bird rate) per selected student.
