ACLA is committed to supporting contingent faculty and graduate students by offering travel grants of $400. These grants are intended to alleviate some of the financial burdens associated with academic travel—they can help cover expenses such as airfare, accommodation, and registration fees. Our committee will review all applications and select grant recipients by December 21.

The ACLA is particularly interested in helping students and contingent faculty who have no support for conference attendance from their institutions or other sources and who also incur substantial travel costs. Applicants for travel grants must be current in their membership by February 28, 2024 and be presenting a paper at the 2024 Annual Meeting. We encourage eligible individuals to apply, as we aim to assist as many as possible within our allocation, which is limited by our budget and donations. Regrettably, we receive many more applications than we can fund, so this funding is not guaranteed. We urge participants to also inquire at their own institutions as well for travel support.
