Center for East Asian Studies Conference Travel Grant for Japanese Studies

Eligibility:  University of Chicago graduate students traveling to present papers at conferences.

Deadline:  Rolling applications each academic year, but MUST be submitted at least one month prior to conference travel.

Contact:  Chair of the CEAS Committee on Japanese Studies

Description:  This grant provides modest support for students traveling outside the Chicago metropolitan area to present a paper on a topic relating to Japanese studies. A limited number of grants are available each year. Due to the changing status of the COVID-19 pandemic, please note that CEAS will also accept applications to cover registration fees for students who will be presenting virtually at conferences.  Students who plan to submit an application for travel should first check with the UChicago Forward site https://goforward.uchicago.edu/travel for the most up-to-date policies, procedures, and requirements related to travel.  Students may apply for and receive this grant more than once in an academic year, but such awards are pending availability of Committee funding. If approved for the grant, original receipts and reimbursement paperwork requests MUST be submitted within 30 days after the end of travel. No exceptions.

APPLY ONLINE.  Applications submitted by email or hardcopy are not accepted.  This application MUST be submitted at least a month before your planned travel.
