About the Student Forum Travel Fund
Funds are available to defray the costs associated with attending the ASA Annual Meeting. Each award is $250, and approximately 45 awards are granted each year.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be students who are pursuing an undergraduate or graduate sociology degree in an academic institution and are current student members of ASA.
Travel fund applications will not open until after decisions about the program have been announced. Those who are already registered for the meeting are disqualified from receiving the award. You should not register for the meeting until you receive a decision about the travel award. Travel award decisions will be announced well before the early bird registration deadline.
Review process and selection criteria
Participation in the Annual Meeting program (e.g., paper sessions, roundtables), purpose for attending (e.g., workshop training, Honors Program participation), student financial need, availability of other forms of support, matching funds, distance traveled, and potential benefit to the student are among the factors that are taken into account in making awards. A travel award subcommittee of the ASA Student Forum Advisory Board convened especially for this purpose will select awardees.
