Description
The Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) Conference Grants Program helps newcomers attend its annual Conference and Workshop and become more active in the association. Administered by the ARSC Conference Grants Committee, it supports students, recent graduates, early-career professionals, and researchers working with sound recordings. Its goals include expanding conference participation, promoting mentoring and professional development, and advancing scholarly research and publication.
The program particularly values interest in ARSC committee service, publication in the ARSC Journal, and conference presentations. It also seeks to reduce barriers to participation, encouraging applications from people in groups that have historically faced obstacles to involvement, especially those who would otherwise be unable to attend. Applicants from all backgrounds may apply.
