Description
The American Catholic Historical Association (ACHA) administers the Presidential Graduate Student Travel Grant to help graduate students offset the travel expenses of presenting at its meetings. Awarded annually, the program supports participation in the Annual Meeting and also offers support for the Spring Meeting. The current application cycle is for the 2027 Annual Meeting in New Orleans.
The award supports travel associated with a meeting presentation rather than a separate research project. It is part of ACHA’s support for graduate students within its broader mission to promote the study of Catholic Church history and foster scholarly research, teaching, and publication in Catholic studies.
