Description
The International Center of Medieval Art (ICMA), through the generosity of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, offers travel grants for speakers participating in ICMA-sponsored sessions at scholarly conferences. The program helps cover the practical costs of reaching and staying at a conference, supporting participation in these sessions rather than research projects or presentation equipment.
Support is available for both domestic and overseas travel and is paid as reimbursement after the session. Eligible expenses include transportation and up to two nights of lodging. The program is specifically for speakers and organizers delivering papers as an integral part of a session, with a paper title listed in the program. ICMA makes every effort to provide assistance, but support depends on available funds and is not guaranteed.
