The Italian Art Society offers two grants of $500 each year that support travel for 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 about the art or architecture of Italy from the prehistoric to the present at one of these conferences, but not necessarily in an IAS-sponsored session.
