CAA will award a limited number of $250 grants to advanced PhD and MFA graduate students as partial reimbursement of travel expenses to attend the 104th Annual Conference, taking place February 3–6, 2016, in Washington, DC. To qualify for the grant, students must be current CAA members. Funds are for transportation to and from the conference only, not for meals or lodging. Successful applicants will also receive a complimentary conference registration.

Grant recipients are chosen by lottery. Depending on the number of applications received, preference will be given to conference attendees not participating as a speaker, chair, or discussant. Graduate students living outside the United States may also apply for the CAA International Member Conference Travel Grant but can only receive a single award.
