Society for Socialist Studies - Travel Grant Application 2009

The Society for Socialist Studies ORDINARILY receives a limited amount of funds to disperse for purposes of travel to Congress participants who are organizing SSS sessions and/or presenting papers in SSS sessions.The CFHSS does not make these awards (which are funded by SSHRCC) until April so we can't know in advance if our funding level will be the same as in previous years. We are not in a position to fund the entire cost of travel/accommodation for any of our members. You are encouraged to apply for travel support from other sources. Given the limited funds, we give priority to applications from retired/unwaged, students, new scholars & contract faculty.

If you would like to apply for travel assistance from the Society for Socialist Studies please complete this form by cutting and pasting into your word processor or an e-mail message 

and send it to Murray Cooke at mcooke@yorku.ca

Only Society members are eligible for our travel grant awards. You are required to update your membership in order to qualify to have an award dispersed to you at Congress in Ottawa.
