To support graduate student scholarship and international
participation in the field of Southeast European Studies, the Southeast
European Studies Association (SEESA) has established the SEESA Harrison Travel
Grants to subsidize travel costs for the presentation of papers at
international, national, regional, or state conferences. In 2027, the grants
will be awarded to graduate and undergraduate students for presentation of work
on topics related to Southeast European Studies at conferences in any field –
including, but not limited to, history, linguistics, literature, anthropology,
the arts, social and political science, and folklore.
SEESA plans to fund, on a competitive
basis, at least 2 awards of $700 each.
Applicants must be undergraduate or
graduate students in Southeast European Studies or a related field.
Students may receive only one SEESA Harrison
Travel Grant over the course of their studies.
Applicants should submit an abstract of
the paper of no fewer than
500 words, proof that the abstract has been accepted, a C.V., a short
bibliography of their paper, and proof of student status as an email attachment
to Dr. Bavjola Shatro [seesa.travel.grants@gmail.com]. Author name(s), affiliation(s), and
contact information should be provided below the title of the paper.
Applicants who are unable to submit proof
of abstract acceptance by January 31st, 2027 because the conference
they plan to attend has a later notification date should contact SEESA’s
Committee for Harrison Travel Grants at the email address provided above before
submitting their application. They will then receive instructions on how to complete
and submit their application for the SEESA Harrison Travel Grants.
The applications will be evaluated by
SEESA’s Committee for Harrison Travel Grants. The quality of writing of
the abstract as well as its content will be considered.
Questions about the grants may be
directed to Dr. Bavjola Shatro.
