AAR Religion and the Arts Travel Grant

The Religion and the Arts Travel Grant, funded through the generosity of Diane Apostolos-Cappadona, is awarded annually to a graduate student studying religion and the arts who is without institutional support to attend the November Annual Meeting. The grant offsets travel costs associated with attending the November Annual Meeting: registration fees (including tours and workshops), hotel room, transportation, and meals up to $1,500. This grant is specifically designed to support graduate students enrolled in a Religion and the Arts degree program or writing a thesis or dissertation on Religion and the Arts who lack access to institutional or external funding. Recipients must be current AAR members with consistent membership, and preference is given to applicants demonstrating financial need. The award is distributed after the Annual Meeting upon submission of receipts and a detailed report about the recipient's contributions to the meeting and the benefits of attendance for their scholarship and vocation.
