Description
The Scholars Beyond Conference Travel Grant is administered by the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies (ASECS) as part of its Annual Meeting travel awards. It supports non-professorial and non-tenure-track scholars who are presenting their research in meeting sessions. The assistance is tied to conference participation rather than funding a separate research project.
The program includes part-time and full-time faculty outside tenure-track lines, as well as non-teaching scholars such as librarians and staff. Independent scholars will also be considered. The application describes support of up to two nights at the conference hotel, with recipients selected by lottery. The 2027 Annual Meeting takes place in Portland, Oregon.
