CES Autumn 2023 Student Travel and Research Grants

The Center for Ethnic Studies is accepting applications for the 2023-2024 academic year. 

The CES awards several small grants every year in support of students’ research activities, conference participation, and other academically-oriented travel needs. Travel plans are not necessary to apply for these grants. 

Eligibility Requirements

All undergraduate or graduate students currently enrolled in coursework for the Autumn 2023 term may apply. Proposals should demonstrate a substantial connection to one or more of the fields represented within the Center’s academic programs: American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, and/or Latinx Studies, with preference given to those enrolled in our minor and GIS Programs. The time period for research or travel with this grant should be sometime within the 2023-2024 academic year. Another round of grant applications will be considered in spring of 2024, for summer and fall research and travel.

Awards are competitive (i.e., reviewed by a selection committee) and will be decided on the basis of merit and the project’s significance to the student's academic and/or professional development and the potential for the student's work to contribute to greater understanding of the field in which they are working. Please also note that previous award recipients are permitted to reapply for these grants, but that, all else equal, first-time applicants will receive priority consideration.

**The deadline for Autumn term grant proposals is Friday, November 3, 11:59 p.m. ET.*
