Description
The American Sociological Association (ASA) offers Annual Meeting Travel Fund Awards to help more sociologists benefit from the professional development available at its Annual Meeting. The fund addresses attendance costs that can prevent scholars from taking part.
ASA particularly highlights sociologists in adjunct positions, those at under-resourced institutions, and international scholars facing substantial travel costs. The award supports participation in the meeting, rather than a separate research project. Applicants must be listed as participants in the Annual Meeting program, and payment depends on confirmed attendance.
