SLAS Latin American ScholarsGrants
All Information
SLAS normally awards ten grants of up to £1,750 to scholars based in Latin America so they can attend the society's annual conference in person, present a research paper and develop collaborations with SLAS members. The funding can contribute to conference registration, travel and accommodation, and applicants may include additional care costs associated with attending. Independent researchers, PhD students and university-affiliated scholars can apply. Applicants must have support from an SLAS member and demonstrate the value of the proposed collaboration.
