Description
The Student Travel Grants program, offered by the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion (SSSR), provides financial assistance to graduate students to help offset the costs associated with attending the Society's annual meeting. The grant is intended to support students presenting research by covering costs such as conference registration, airfare, hotel accommodations, and partial meal expenses. Award checks for meal support are distributed in person at the meeting, while SSSR directly pays for travel and lodging. The program encourages participation of emerging scholars in the scientific study of religion by reducing the financial barriers to conference attendance.
