Funding for English/Spanish Translation and Interpreting

Requesting Translation/Interpreting Services

Providers of translation/interpreting services must be qualified as 鈥渁pproved vendors.鈥 State-approved vendors can be used for larger projects without any additional steps. Preferred vendors taking on larger projects must be approved by AHEC through a bidding process.

State approved vendors of translation/interpreting services can be found , under Translation Services.

海角社区 Preferred Vendor (AHEC-approved): CESCO Linguistic Services

Eligibility for Funding

  1. The project must be for the English/Spanish language pairing.
  2. The project must be in alignment with the Hispanic-serving mission of the institution.
  3. The project must not exceed $6,000 (six thousand dollars).

Managing Translation & Interpreting Requests

For outward-facing materials or events, opt for professional services.

For in-office use only, you can employ an in-house language assistant, preferably trained.

It is a good idea to have a point person to coordinate translation/interpreting requests at the office.

Suggested process flow:

  1. Identify your project
    1. Dates/time/location/type of event for interpreting
    2. Text and links for written translation
  2. Identify a point person
  3. The point person contacts the service provider for a quote and is the main contact for the project
  4. The point person applies for funding and coordinates the receiving of services
