Purpose
The Canadian Committee of
the Middle East Studies Association (CANMES) offers a number of annual
travel grants to graduate students planning to attend academic conferences
in North America. The purpose of these grants is to encourage graduate
students to present their work in these conferences.
Eligibility
The competition for travel grants is open to graduate students
currently enrolled in a Canadian university whose specialization pertains
to any field of Middle East studies. Priority will be given to applicants
who are members of MESA, the Middle East Studies Association of North
America.
Grant Terms
Travel grants are available for graduate students planning to
present at MESA, Learneds, and CCASLS conferences. Support for
presentations at other major North American conferences will also be
considered. Applicants may request a maximum of $750 (Canadian funds)
each. Actual grant amounts are based on proposed budgets and the location
of both the applicant and the conference. Travel grants are paid after the
completion of the conference. Eligible expenses include airline or train
travel and lodging. Original documentation of travel and lodging expenses,
plus proof of conference registration (for verification purposes), should
be sent to the address on the application form after the completion of the
conference.
Deadlines
Competition for CANMES travel grants occurs on a continuous basis
annually. However, applications must be received two months before the
date of the proposed conference.
