Graduate Student Travel Stipends: Eastern Division

Requirements

1. The purpose of graduate student travel stipends is to assist graduate students whose papers have been accepted for the programs of the divisional meetings.
2. Eligibility is restricted to APA members or associate members who are graduate students and in good standing at a MA or Ph.D. program in philosophy.
3. To be considered for these awards, the author must specify that the paper is in competition for a Graduate Student stipend. If the paper is submitted electronically, this is to be done by checking the relevant box on the online submission form; if it is submitted by mail, the paper must be accompanied by a cover letter indicating that the paper is in competition for a Graduate Student stipend. Whichever method of submission is used, the author must also supply, at the time of submission, documentation from the author's institution that shows that the author is a graduate student in good standing. Length, format, and other aspects of papers must conform to the rules of the program for submitted papers. See the Paper Submission Guidelines for specifics.
4. Co-authored papers are not eligible for Graduate Student Travel Stipends unless both authors are graduate students.
5. Papers for this competition will not be identified to the program committee as such until accepted for the program.
6. A $300 stipend will be awarded for any paper written by a graduate student that is accepted by the Program Committee in its normal, blind-review process. Winners will be announced in the printed program.
7. Postmarked Deadline for Submissions: Feb. 15th.
