ICMA Kress Travel Grants

The International Center of Medieval Art, through the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, is pleased to offer travel grants to speakers at ICMA-sponsored sessions at scholarly conferences. 

Travel will be reimbursed up to US$600.  Transatlantic and Transpacific travel will be reimbursed up to US$1200.  Fares purchased in non-US currencies will be calculated by the exchange rate on the day the purchase was made.

These funds are available only to speakers and organizers delivering papers as an integral part of the session (i.e with a specific title listed in the program). Funds are payable on a reimbursement basis, via check in US Dollars only. Sorry, no wire transfers or Paypal (or similiar service) transfers are available. Funds cannot be covered in advance of the session. The ICMA cannot guarantee this support, but will make every effort to provide it, based on the availability of funds.  

Reimbursable expenses include

  • Airfare
  • Trainfare
  • Rental car fees and gas
  • Mileage at the IRS 2015 rate of 57.5 cents per mile (if you are using your own car)
  • Lodging (two night maximum)

ICMA does not reimburse

  • Meal expenses
  • Conference registration fees
  • Presentation supplies such as computer or camera equipment

Session organizers: contact Ryan Frisinger (icma@medievalart.org) with a list of speakers, affiliations, and departure location as soon as the session is finalized. This will help us determine the availability of funds.
