Hi there Karenne
Even though I am not a Latin American reader I think it's great you posted this information. Not enough people apply for these scholarships perhaps because few know about them. Excellent to make this information better known.

Ta, Lindsay... I know - to be honest before I started blogging, I had no idea that there was even such a thing as IATEFL and when I found out I was amazed by what they're busy doing!! (And I was a part of a teaching association in Ecuador for years, before joining ELTAS here - and I had never known about the international conference, let alone available scholarships!! -
So I like to spread the word :-) to amazing teachers out there who pop on over to my blog everynow and then, and who'd benefit from going and seeing speakers (like you) live! (or even online - I'll post up stuff about the online conference once the site's up)
