Tashjian Travel Awards
For the first time this year, the Tashjian Travel Awards are open to scholars from North America without access to institutional funding . Sponsored by the Richard Rawlinson Center for Anglo-Saxon Studies and Manuscript Research, the awards are made to participants in the International Congress on Medieval Studies giving papers on topics in Anglo-Saxon studies in sponsored and special sessions. Eligibility is limited to scholars from outside North America and to scholars from North America without access to institutional funding, with preference toward emerging scholars not more than three years beyond their doctoral degree. Doctoral candidates writing their dissertations are also eligible. Award recipients are ineligible for another award until the fourth year after a successful application. There are two awards for each congress. Both awards offer a waiver of registration and room and board fees. One of these awards also carries a $500 stipend, which is presented at the congress. The application deadline is November 1.
