Travel Grant: MESA 2023, September 1, 2023

Application deadline: September 1, 2023.

MESA’s Board of Directors has established a fund to subsidize travel expenses for graduate students who are presenting on the program at the MESA annual meeting. For 2023, we will issue approximately 50 US$500 grants or more if contributions to the fund extend beyond that.

To be eligible for a travel grant, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• current graduate student in a degree-seeking program during academic year 2023-24;
• current MESA student member for 2023;
• presenting a paper on a panel, or presenting on a roundtable, as part of the official MESA 2023 meeting program;
• must travel a minimum of 250 miles to attend the annual meeting;
• must not be receiving funding to attend the meeting from any other source;
• must present at the MESA meeting as scheduled.

To apply, students should complete the form below and have their academic department chair submit to MESA a letter to [email protected] confirming that they are not receiving departmental support to attend the meeting.

All eligible applicants’ names will be entered into a lottery system for random selection. The awards will be announced shortly after the deadline and will be disbursed at the MESA meeting.
