IUB-Cultural Studies Program Graduate Student Travel Funding

Cultural Studies at IU supports CS-minors traveling to present at a professional conference or to conduct research or field work. Awards are capped at $1,000 and 6 such awards will be distributed over the course of the academic year, with 3 given each semester. The deadline is rolling throughout the academic year until funds have been fully distributed.

To apply, please submit a 1-page cover letter explaining the request, outlining its relevance to the student’s research, and explaining expected costs; a current CV; a copy of the minor declaration form, and a brief letter of support from a faculty member.

All current students minoring in Cultural Studies are eligible for this award. Please note that total awards for any student will be capped at $1000 per year.

Please also note that awards cannot be given retroactively.
Please be aware that the awards are processed as fellowships via SIS. If an award recipient has any bursar balance due at the time of processing, award funds will very likely go to pay that balance first, and the full amount of the award may no longer be available. We urge recipients to work with their fiscal officers on the timing of award processing. All awards are subject to university restrictions and regulations.
