Publication subsidy on Dutch Studies

A generous amount is available to be paid directly to publishers as subsidies (not as advances). Only books and articles of a scholarly nature and theses on Dutch Studies that have been accepted for publication will be considered. The ongoing costs of research are not funded.

Priority is given to subsidizing publications in the field of Afrikaans or Dutch Linguistics and Language Control (which includes text editions), preferably works
on Afrikaans that relate to the synchronic or diachronic relationship between Afrikaans and Dutch. Publications on Dutch literature in which the relationship
between Dutch and Afrikaans is discussed will also be given priority. 

The application must contain the objective, the table of contents and a 5000-word
summary of the book, accompanied by referee reports and a letter from the publisher in which a cost estimate and motivation for the need for the subsidy are contained, an undertaking is given to publish the work and the date of publication (no later than eighteen months after the date of submission of the application) is stated. Books published before the application deadline do not qualify. 

A payment will be made after a copy of the published work has been provided to the Fund.
