Glucksman Fund Travel Grant Scheme

The Glucksman Fund Travel Grant Scheme is a funding opportunity provided by the School of History at University College Cork. This scheme is designed to facilitate research travel specifically to the United States for registered research students (MPhil and PhD) at UCC. The travel grants are available to any research student whose research topic would demonstrably benefit from conducting research in archives or specialized libraries in the USA. The grant scheme provides financial support for travel expenses, with a typical maximum award of €1,000, though this amount may be exceeded in exceptional circumstances as justified by the applicant. Recipients must complete their research trips within the specified timeframe and submit itemized receipts and invoices for reimbursement. This program supports advanced research in history and related fields by enabling students to access primary sources and specialized collections available only in American institutions.
