The American Academy of Religion (AAR) awards this annual grant to a graduate student studying religion and the arts who lacks support to attend its November Annual Meeting. Funded through the generosity of Diane Apostolos-Cappadona, it offsets meeting-related registration, lodging, transportation, and meal costs.
Applicants describe their research interests and how they plan to engage with religion and the arts opportunities at the meeting. Participation in the meeting program is a plus. Afterward, the recipient reports on their contributions and how attendance benefited their scholarship and vocation.
