Western Branch

GRADUATE STUDENT TRAVEL AWARD

In order to encourage graduate students to engage in the activities of the Western Branch, the society has created the “Graduate Student Travel Award of the American Oriental Society, Western Branch.”

Each year, awards will be offered to graduate students to subvent expenses to attend the Western Branch meeting up to a sum of $500. Awardees will also be honored by special recognition during the conference and on the society’s website. While the Western Branch hopes to be able to award two grants each year, the number of awards will depend on the availability of funds and especially on the amount of donations made for this purpose. 

Graduate students who intend to apply for the award should indicate this when they send in their registration form and abstract. All applications to the Graduate Student Award will be anonymously reviewed by members of the Executive Committee of the Western Branch.
