The Gender & Women’s Studies Program offers a limited number of awards (up to $250 each) for GWS graduate concentrators, GWS majors and minors, and Social Justice (SJ) minors to travel to and participate in feminist conference spaces. The award is to support students who will be presenting papers, posters, or creative work at the conference they attend. It also can be used to support student travel for research, including, but not limited to, trips to archives, transcription of data, or other research related activities.
Eligible students should be:
• Current GWS graduate concentrators who have completed at least one core course (GWS 501 or 502)
• GWS majors or minors, or SJ minors who have completed the required core courses and are presenting research at a conference.
