SEESA plans to fund, on a competitive basis, at least 2 awards of $500 each.

Applicants must be graduate students at either the master's or doctoral level in any field of Southeast European Studies.

Students may only receive one SEESA Graduate Student Travel Grant over the course of their graduate studies.
