We are excited to offer the “Constance Rourke Travel Grant” which is available to all graduate students. The award is $100 to help defray the cost of attending, in addition to free registration.
To apply:
Graduate students may apply for travel funds by including the following information with their paper, panel, and/or roundtable proposal: desire to receive travel funds, grad school name, grad school status (classwork, ABD, final year, etc.), and type of institutional support your school will provide for attending.
We will provide funding for as many graduate students as possible, with awards to scholars available to scholars working in all areas of humor studies and Mark Twain studies. Scholars will receive their payment at the conference.
