The Japan Art History Forum announces the opening of competition for the
2020 JAHF Graduate Student Travel Grant. This competitive grant is intended
to support professional development of JAHF’s graduate student members by
helping to offset travel and/or accommodation expenses at the annual
conferences of the College Art Association (CAA) and the Association of
Asian Studies (AAS).
Application is open to any member of JAHF who is currently pursuing the
study of Japanese art or visual culture at the graduate level, and who is
scheduled to present a paper at either of these two conference venues.
U.S.-based applicants typically receive a maximum of $400, and
international travelers up to $800; these funds are intended to cover
actual travel or accommodation costs. The selection jury will consist of
the elected officers on the JAHF board. See terms and conditions below for
more information.
The application deadline is Friday, January 3, 2020. Any applications
received with a submission date later than Jan. 3 will not be considered.
