SBL MEETING TRAVEL GRANTS
As of December 1, 2018, the SBL Travel Grant program will
begin accepting Applications.
The SBL International Travel Awards offer opportunities
to current SBL members outside North America to attend the Annual or
International Meeting, to participate in the program, to enhance their professional
development, and to build their network with fellow scholars. These grants help
facilitate the work of Program Units and the International Cooperation
Initiative (“ICI”). These grants are intended to support underrepresented and
underresourced scholars. As such, preference will be given to women, people of
historically underrepresented ethnicities, and members from ICI-qualifying
countries. A key criterion is an applicant’s demonstrable financial need.
(The Regional Scholars Awards are intended to encourage
North American members to participate in their region as well as receive travel
assistance to the Annual Meeting.)
Four International Travel Award Panels (ITAP) will
administer the awards each year, serving four geographic regions:
Africa and Middle East
Asia and Pacific
Eastern Europe
Latin America and Caribbean
For awards offered in 2019, each ITAP will administer
$3,000 in awards in each region. The panels may determine the best distribution
of funds (e.g., as one $1000 and one $2000 award, or as three awards of $1000
each). The applicants must attend the Annual or International Meetings, but may
or may not participate in the program, depending upon their needs expressed in
the application. All grants include lodging (one room, single or shared) for
four nights and complimentary meeting registration. Recipients may not have
attended an Annual or International Meeting within the last five (5) years.
The International Travel Awards defray transportation,
hotel accommodations, and other expenses incurred for the Annual or
International Meetings. Award monies will be distributed as reimbursement for
expenses incurred for travel to/from the meeting and meals while attending the
meeting.
Who is eligible?
Current SBL members outside North America who have not
attended an Annual or International Meeting within the last five years.
Applicants must have completed at least a Masters degree
or be enrolled in a Ph.D. program.
Preference will be given to women, people of historically
underrepresented ethnicities, and members from ICI-qualifying countries.
Persons who have previously received a SBL Travel Award
are not eligible.
What does a travel award include?
Reimbursement of travel, visa application fees, meal and
Annual or International Meeting expenses up to the amount of the award.
Lodging (one room, single or shared) for four nights.
Complimentary Annual or International Meeting
registration.
