Childcare Grants

The American Historical Association offers grants of up to $250 USD to assist AHA members who have childcare costs during the annual meeting. The grants are intended to help offset the cost of child care, enabling attendees with dependent children to attend the meeting. Allowable expenses include babysitters (on-site at the conference location or child care at home) and airfare/hotel costs for a caregiver to accompany the child to the annual meeting location. History graduate students, early career historians, and contingent faculty are eligible, with priority given to those who are on the program. Reimbursements are distributed following the annual meeting after recipients submit a reimbursement form with original receipts.
