ALSA 2023 Conference Travel Grant
This year, ALSA will offer a limited number of travel grants for junior scholars to attend ALSA's annual conference and give presentations. The amount of each travel grant is $500 USD.
Junior scholars are doctoral students in the late stages of their education, research or postdoctoral fellows who completed their doctoral degrees no earlier than 1 May 2020, and faculty members in the first three years of their academic careers. If an applicant has a career break due to the pandemic or family obligations, the committee will review eligibility on a case-by-case basis.
Applicants must be ALSA members by the time of the application. Priorities will be given to scholars and students from countries and regions in the Special Membership category, as well as postgraduate students without funding support and scholars without full-time employment. Other applicants will be selected by lottery to ensure fairness.
To apply for the ALSA 2023 Conference Travel Grant, please send an email to ALSA Vice Executive Officer, Jonathan Liljeblad at jonathanliljeblad@gmail.com, stating your name, ALSA 2023 presentation title, your institutional affiliation (if any), and status (e.g. PhD student, postgraduate student without funding, scholar without full-time employment).
