AMERICAN ORIENTAL SOCIETY
Graduate Student Award for Travel to the 2008 Annual Meeting
The American Oriental Society each year awards funds to support graduate students' travel and lodging expenses for attending the Annual Meeting in Chicago. The AOS Graduate Student Award Fund is supported by contributions from the membership and matching funds from the Society's general fund. Currently, a maximum of US$400 is available for reimbursement to each successful applicant.
To be considered for the award of support funds, a graduate student must be a current member of the American Oriental Society, have presented a paper at the most recent annual meeting and paid meeting registration fees, and submit an application letter (including original travel and lodging expense receipts, or clean copies) and a copy of a valid and current student identification to the Office of the Secretary. Application letters and supporting documentation must be submitted to the AOS Office within a month of the last day of the meeting. Applications will be reviewed and awards made to qualifying graduate students within a month of receipt of applications. The deadline for receipt of applications is 22 April 2008, after which no additional applications will be accepted.
Award reimbursements will be mailed to successful applicants in mid- to late May 2008.
