2006
Student Travel Awards
Applications Due May 1
General Information
The Student Forum of the American Sociological Association (ASA) administers student travel awards to the ASA Annual Meeting. We anticipate granting approximately 25 awards in the amount of $200 each. These awards are made on a competitive basis and are meant to assist students by defraying costs associated with attending the Annual Meeting. All applicants are encouraged to seek additional sources of funding to attend the Annual Meeting.
Four copies of the complete application must be submitted no later than May 1, 2006. Decisions will be announced no later than
June 15, 2006. No part of the application may be submitted by fax, but e-mail submission of the forms is acceptable. Only applications from individuals on their own behalf will be accepted.
Eligibility
Applicants must be students pursuing an undergraduate or graduate sociology degree in an academic institution and a current student member of ASA (at the time of application). Participation in the Annual Meeting (e.g., paper sessions, roundtables), purpose for attending (e.g., workshop training, Honors Program participation), student need, the availability of other forms of support, matching funds, and the potential benefit to the student are among the factors taken into account in making awards.
Awardees will be selected by a travel award committee of the Student Forum
convened especially for this purpose.
