ACLA is committed to supporting contingent faculty and graduate students by offering travel grants. These grants are intended to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with academic travel—they can help cover expenses such as airfare, accommodation, and registration fees.

In 2025, the ACLA Annual Meeting will be held virtually. This year, we will offer full waivers for registration and membership fees through the travel grant program. If you receive a 2025 grant, the Secretariat will add one conference registration and one year of ACLA membership to your user account. We are particularly interested in helping students and contingent faculty who have no support for conference attendance from their institutions or other sources.

Grant applicants must be presenting a paper at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

We encourage eligible individuals to apply, as we aim to assist as many people as possible within our allocation, which is limited by our budget and donations. Regrettably, we receive many more applications than we can fund, so this funding is not guaranteed. We urge participants to also inquire at their own institutions for support.

If you are able to contribute a donation to this fund, please visit our donation page and select “Support a Scholar” as your donation type.

Instructions:

Please note that ACLA cannot disburse travel grants for citizens of certain nations designated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the the US Treasury. To see the most updated list, visit this link: Frequently Asked Questions | U.S. Department of the Treasury
