Opportunity for funding to support in-person presentation travel
Presenters accepted for the in-person Symposium are eligible to apply for funding to offset travel expenses related to presenting at the Global
Digital Humanities Symposium, up to $700 USD. A limited number of awards are also available to cover accommodations on campus at Owen Hall, a residence hall on MSU campus.
Priority will be given to those traveling internationally to attend the event as well as to students and scholars without adequate funding availability
otherwise. The application for receiving funds will open upon acceptance to the Symposium. The application form will ask presenters about their travel itinerary and expenses.
Sincerely,
Kristen Mapes, on behalf of the Symposium Planning Committee
