In Fall 2005 the CLAW program inaugurated a new research travel grant. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students may apply for a travel grant of $150 to allow them to pursue or present research on a topic related to the Carolina Lowcountry and/or Atlantic World.
Up to five grants will be awarded in any given academic year on a first come-first served basis. Please apply at least one month in advance of the proposed travel by sending two copies of a letter of application to Professors Simon Lewis and David Gleeson describing
- Date
- Destination
- Occasion of your travel (professional meeting, conference, research, etc.)
- A brief description of the nature of the work you are doing and its pertinence to the Carolina Lowcountry and/or Atlantic World.
Please also include an outline of the costs you will incur and list any other sources of funding (and amounts awarded or applied for) you are seeking.
If your application is successful, we simply ask that you send us a brief summary of your experience on return (maximum one page), and that you acknowledge our support in any published version of your research.
Addendum: while there is no deadline for applying for this grant, only five will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis.
