(CSADP) Policy Statement
Regarding Graduate Student Conference
Travel Funds
CSADP
has limited funds available for graduate students traveling to conferences at
which they will present papers on their own research. These funds are to be used solely to help students defray
travel costs to and from conferences of significance to the study of the African
Diaspora. The CSADP Selection committee recognize the following policies in
dispensing these funds.
Applicants
must be graduate students who are registered
during the quarter the conference will take place.
-
To
be eligible, applicants must be presenting a paper and listed in the conference
program. (No awards will be given in order to read a paper in an author’s
absence).
-
Funds
may only be used to defray the cost of travel and accommodations.
Conference fees and meal expenses will not be paid.
Award recipients will be required to submit receipts within 2 weeks of
the end of the conference.
-
Completed
applications must be submitted by the announced deadline, accompanied by a copy
of the students’ most recent transcript, an abstract of the paper and
signature and approval of major advisor. Also
attached, or submitted as soon as it becomes available, must be a copy of the
notification that the paper has been formally accepted for presentation. (Checks will not be issued without a letter confirming that
the paper has been accepted for
presentation .)
-
Applications
will be evaluated in light of their inherent merit, the paper’s focus on
African Diaspora studies, the student’s scholarly promise, academic
achievement, and progress toward degree and the extent of research and travel
support received previously from CAAS or CSADP.
