Italian Art Society Emerging Scholars Travel Grant
The Italian Art Society is currently offering two grants of $500 each year that support travel for IAS emerging scholars to any conference at which the IAS is sponsoring a session.
This competition is open to M.A. or Ph.D. students, or Ph.D. holders within ten years of the degree (pre-tenure, non-tenure-track, or independent scholars). Applicants must be presenting a paper on the art or architecture of Italy from the prehistoric period to the present, but not necessarily in an IAS-sponsored session.
Recipients must be members of the Italian Art Society at the time of application and upon receipt of the award, and must not have received an IAS award in the previous two years. IAS officers are not eligible to apply.
The application deadline is December 15, 2024. Applications should be submitted here.
Please email Dr. Silvia Bottinelli, Chair of the IAS Awards Committee, at awards@italianartsociety.org if you have any questions.
