Convention Opportunity Travel Grants by the Association for Slavic, East European & Eurasian Studies
New starting in 2015, ASEEES is able to offer a limited number of travel grants to subsidize the travel of non-student members with income under $30,000 to present their papers at the ASEEES Annual Convention. Applications will be judged on intellectual merit of the paper topic with a view to disciplinary and regional balances. Where possible, priority will be given to first-time convention presenters or junior scholars who do not receive institutional support, such as those working as adjuncts or unemployed/underemployed.
GRANT AMOUNT
Up to $500 USD
