Division of the Humanities Travel Grant

Terms: The grants support short-term, research-related travel. Approximately six fellowships of up to $1,250 are awarded in a given academic year. It is expected that these awards will be sufficient to defray the costs of travel for students who have a specific research goal (e.g., examination of archives or travel to collections) that can be achieved within a limited period of time (typically one month). The awards cannot be used to supplement grants from other sources.

Eligibility: Only advanced graduate students in the Division of Humanities who have been admitted to candidacy for the doctoral degree by the tenure of the grant; research projects must be completed no later than May 1 of the academic year in which the grant is awarded.

Application: The application must include a statement (maximum length of 1,000 words), describing the purpose of the travel and its relation to the student's doctoral work; a detailed itinerary and budget; a supporting letter normally provided by the student's main academic adviser (the student must assure that the letter arrives by the application deadline).

Deadline: Typically in late April for travel anticipated in the following academic year; application materials should be delivered to Walker 111.
