MA students enrolled in the Development Studies Option and PhD students supervised by ISID faculty members and associate members are invited to apply for the 2024 ISID Graduate Student Travel Grants. Grants will range from $500-$1500. The grants can be used to support fieldwork or archival research for graduate research projects (ongoing, or to be started in 2024), or travel to conferences or workshops in 2024, at which the student is presenting their work. The fieldwork, archival research and/or conference/workshop travel should be broadly related to the field of international development.

• A brief letter of support from the student鈥檚 supervisor
• CV
• Electronic transcripts from graduate studies at 麻豆AV
• Students proposing to use the grant to fund conference or workshop travel should include documentation confirming their acceptance to present at the event.
