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 meeting@mesana.org 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.
