- mid 19th-century to early 20th-century
Graduate students, independent scholars, and contingent faculty are invited to apply for a BWWA travel grant for BWWC 2023. The deadline for travel grant submissions is March 20th.
To qualify for a BWWA travel grant, applicants must:
- Be currently enrolled as a full-time graduate student;
- Be currently employed in a non-tenured, part-time, or adjunct position; or
- Have completed their doctorate within the last ten years and be unaffiliated with any university.
In addition to the BWWA Travel Awards, graduate students and contingent faculty working in the area of Social Justice may apply for the Women Writers and Social Justice Travel Award. Sponsored by Lesa Scholl, Head of Kathleen Lumley College at the University of Adelaide, the Women Writers and Social Justice Travel Award aids one graduate student or contingent faculty member who has demonstrated interest in research topics grounded in social justice to allay the cost of attending the annual BWWC. The deadline for the Social Justice Award is also March 20th.
Please apply for these awards using this form.
