PAPER PRESENTATION GRANTS

The Cervantes Society of America is pleased to announce that four grants of up to $500 each will be awarded annually for presentations by graduate students or by nontenure-track scholars (adjunct, visiting, retired faculty, post-doctoral fellows, etc.) made at any international, national, or regional conference on topics related to the life and works of Miguel de Cervantes.

 

Eligibility

In order to apply for a grant, you must meet both of the following conditions both at the time of application and when the conference presentation takes place:

  • Member in good standing of the Cervantes Society of America

  • Graduate student or nontenure-track scholar

Applicants who have not previously received a CSA paper presentation grant will be given priority.

3. Abstract of your conference paper (300 words maximum)

4. Graduate students only: a letter of support from your advisor.

Graduate students are strongly encouraged to review their submissions with their advisors.

 

Please remember:

  • Grants will not be awarded retroactively (i.e., for papers presented before September 1 of this year).

  • Successful applicants will normally be notified by October 1.

  • Reimbursements will be made after the conference has taken place and upon submission of receipts.
