Travel and Conference Awards
In order to encourage Women's Studies students (both undergraduate and graduate students) to attend interdisciplinary events, to present their research at academic or professional conferences, and to take part in special projects where they can deepen their feminist education, the program offers a limited amount of travel and research funding each year. A limited number of grants of up to $500 each (based on reimbursable expenses) are available to students twice a year. Students should complete the Women's Studies Travel Application and a letter addressed to the Director that details the purpose of the travel, its educational importance and what the funds requested will cover. Submit all application materials to Melanie Mitchell (melanie.mitchell@duke.edu) in the Women's Studies Office. Please submit your application electronically and any supporting narrative in a WORD document. The Fall deadline is October 1 (for travel November through May) and the Summer deadline is May 1 (for travel June through October)
