As a reflection of the changing demographic profile of the association, and the increasing number of members who travel to our convention from the world area we study, ASEEES introduces a new Travel Grant program to subsidize the travel of faculty, policy specialists, and independent scholars to participate in the ASEEES annual convention. (Advanced graduate students from all parts of the world are encouraged to apply for the Davis Student Travel Grants.)

Grant Amount:

Up to $1,000 USD plus convention registration fee waiver

Deadline:

Applications are due May 1, 2013. All applicants will be notified of their status byJune 1, 2013.

All applicants must be:

Selection Process:

Applications will be judged on intellectual merit with a view to disciplinary and regional balances. Where possible, priority will be given to candidates who are first-time conference presenters or junior scholars whose institutions offer limited funding. Since our funding is limited and we wish to fund as many deserving applicants as possible, we urge applicants to be practical in estimating their travel and lodging budget.
