As part of its mission to promote the study and interpretation of the built environment, the Society of Architectural Historians offers Annual Conference fellowships and grants. Each year, SAH awards approximately $25,000 in Annual Conference Fellowships to graduate students, international speakers, and independent scholars presenting at the SAH Annual International Conference. Each Annual Conference Fellowship award is up to $1,000 and is a reimbursable stipend to be used to offset costs of conference registration and travel, lodging, and meals directly related to the conference. In addition to these fellowships, three of SAH's chapters administer their own fellowships that also help support participation in the SAH Annual International Conference.
