Graduate Student International Travel Award

Each year, the Society offers a limited number of travel grants to graduate students accepted at the Society's conference. Grants are available to graduate students traveling internationally from one continental region (North America, South/Central America, Europe, Africa, Asia, or Australasia) to another in order to attend the annual conference. Award winners are selected by Brian McHale and James Phelan.
