Marc Helgesen Global Scholarship Program – ERWC7 scholarship recipient reports

Posted on December 12, 2025 by Wendy Gough

This year the ERF was proud introduce the Marc Helgesen Global Scholarship Program. The program allowed us to offer five scholars, Francisca Maria Ivone (Indonesia), Tham Thuy Hong (Vietnam), Made Hery Santosa (Indonesia), Tram Nguyen (Vietnam), and Narudol (Nathan) Semchuchot (Thailand) up to 1,000 US dollars each to cover travel expenses to attend the Extensive Reading World Congress 7.

Marc Helgesen, who passed away in March 2025, was the second ERF Chair and continued to be a strong supporter of ER programs and English education in general. The scholarship program is our humble way of honoring his legacy by continuing to support dedicated scholars.

The five scholars have provided thoughtful reports on their ERWC conference experiences presenting their research, sharing ideas, and outlining plans for the future. We hope reading their reports will inspire you to continue sharing your own research and ideas as well.
