Description
The Jeffrey Grey Memorial Travel Grant is an annual award administered by the Society for Military History in honor of the late Dr. Jeffrey Grey of Australia, a former Society president. It supports an outstanding graduate student residing and enrolled in a graduate program outside North America, helping defray travel expenses associated with participation in the Society’s annual meeting rather than funding a separate research project.
The application guidelines identify paper presentations and roundtable participation as supported activities; the program overview also mentions poster presentations. Applications are assessed for the quality, originality, and potential contribution of the proposed work to military history. Past supported presentations span medieval women warriors, Operation Boleas, Philippine naval history, Irish independence, and the Hungarian 2nd Army.
