Conference Travel Grants

The Center awards Conference Travel Grants (up to $400) for professional meetings or other scholarly conferences with significant East Asian content. This grant can be used for both domestic and international conferences.

• This application requires only conference and travel information.
• Department of Education (DoE) approval is required for international travel (if applicable). CEAS must submit a Travel Approval Request (TAR) to the DoE AT LEAST 30 DAYS PRIOR to departure. It is the applicants responsibility to provide travel information to CEAS prior by this deadline. Be aware that there may not be time to obtain approval if your travel starts before March 30th.
• Applicants must complete travel and return of the United States BEFORE August 14th (end of grant cycle) to receive this funding.

NOTE: Title VI funds cover only U.S air carriers. Funding for the Conference Travel Grants comes from the KU CEAS Title VI NRC Grant and these awards are contingent upon the availability of NRC funding and may be reduced or canceled.
