Travel and Research Subventions for Graduate Students and Recent Ph.D.'s

HECAA members who are graduate students or who have completed the Ph.D. in the past 3 years are eligible to apply for our modest subventions (between $100-$200 depending on number of applicants and funds available) for travel, to help defray the costs of a conference where they are delivering a paper or for publication costs.

Please send to Anne Schroder (schroder@duke.edu), a short description of project and what the subvention would be used for. (This should all be between 1-2 pages max.)

There are two deadlines: May 15th and November 15th.
