Description
The Graduate Student Conference (GSC) Travel Grant, managed by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS), supports participation in the society’s Annual Meeting by advanced doctoral students who are ABD and PhDs within one year of receiving their degree. Formerly known as the “Traveling Jam Pot,” the fund provides conference support rather than direct funding for research projects.
ASECS members replenish the fund each year to help address the costs of attending the meeting. Assistance may include free or reduced conference registration, accommodation at the conference hotel, or both. Applicants must have a presentation accepted to the Annual Meeting and explain their financial need as part of their application.
