Travel Assistance for Graduate Students

Again this year, ASLE will provide a limited number of small grants to assist financially needy graduate students with expenses related to conference attendance. Each grant will total approximately $100, and the number of grants available will depend upon the total amount of donations received to cover this assistance.  If you would like to donate to the graduate travel fund, please use the online option when you pay for conference registration, or send your donation to ASLE managing director Amy McIntyre at PO Box 502, Keene, NH 03431

Students wishing to apply for one of these grants should send a one-page e-mail to Rochelle Johnson (rjohnson@albertson.edu) by 5pm EST on April 15. The email should include: the applicant’s name; contact information; institutional affiliation; whether they have a paper accepted for presentation in Spartanburg and the title of said paper; where they are in their studies (e.g., ABD, 1st year Ph.D., M.A. student, etc.); their estimated travel expenses (airfare only, please); if they expect to receive funding from other sources for their travel; and a statement of whether they have received travel assistance from ASLE in the past.

A special task force of ASLE Executive Council members will review applications and make awards by May 1.
