AHA Council Annual Meeting Travel Grants

In 2015, the AHA Council established a fund to subsidize graduate student attendance at the AHA annual meeting and expanded the program to include un/underemployed historians in 2020. The travel grants support members attending the American Historical Association's annual meeting, regardless of participation in the meeting program. Applicants in any major or minor field of study will be considered. Grant amounts are recommended annually by the executive director based on the fund balance and typically range from $200–$400. After the annual meeting, successful applicants are expected to write a 250-word reflection on a session they attended. Recipients are selected by lottery, and successful applicants are notified by email in early December. Grantees receive payments after submitting travel receipts and the required reflection. Preference is given to those who have previously applied but not received an award.
