Description
The Society for Historians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era (SHGAPE) offers this need-based grant to help scholars present at the Organization of American Historians (OAH) conference. It is intended for contingent faculty and other presenters whose lack of personal or institutional resources would otherwise prevent them from participating on conference panels. Ph.D. students are served by a separate travel award.
The SHGAPE program committee selects recipients on the basis of both need and merit and may divide the award among multiple scholars. The application budget identifies practical conference expenses, including travel, registration, accommodation, and meals. Recipients also receive a ticket to the SHGAPE luncheon, where the award is presented.
