2015 JAHF Graduate Student Travel Grant

The Japan Art History Forum announces the opening of competition for the 2015 JAHF Graduate Student Travel Grant. This competitive grant is intended to support professional development of JAHF’s graduate student members by helping to offset travel and/or accommodation expenses at the annual conferences of the College Art Association (CAA) and the Association of Asian Studies (AAS). 

Application is open to any member of JAHF who is currently pursuing the study of Japanese art or visual culture at the graduate level, and who is scheduled to present a paper at either of these two conference venues. Successful applicants typically receive a minimum of $400, intended to cover actual travel or accommodation costs; additional funds may be awarded to those traveling internationally.  The selection jury will consist of the elected officers on the JAHF board. See terms and conditions below for more information.

The application deadline is Monday, January 19, 2015. Any applications received with a submission date later than Jan. 19 will not be considered.
