International Early Career Scholar Travel Grant

The Society for Psychological Anthropology offers the International Early Career Scholar Travel Grant program funded by a generous donation from an anonymous benefactor. The purpose of the program is to provide funding for international scholars who are early in their careers to travel to the United States to participate in conferences affiliated with the SPA. The grants provide funding to pay for all transportation costs, room and board, and conference registration fees for the scholar to present their paper or poster at SPA Biennial meetings. The SPA anticipates making two grants annually of approximately $2,000, although it will consider both smaller and slightly larger grants. In addition to receiving travel funding, arrangements will be made for each grant recipient to meet with a senior psychological anthropologist in the applicant's area of study at the conference for the purpose of mentoring and networking. Applicants are selected based on their potential to contribute to psychological anthropology as a field of study relative to their level of education and experience.
