Travel Grant to Attend the CAG Annual Meetings

Each year the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada provides the Association with a grant to assist current CAG Student members who are Canadian citizens living in Canada or in other countries and non-Canadian CAG Student members who are residing in Canada who are presenting papers/posters, to attend the CAG Annual Meetings.

To be eligible students must have held CAG Student membership in the year prior to the meeting as well as the year in which the meeting takes place and their paper/poster must have been accepted.  It is not necessary that proof of paper/poster acceptance be established until after the meeting.

The deadline for grant applications is the 15th of February.

All 2009 membership application forms plus payment must be received by Dec. 30, 2009 in order to qualify to apply for the travel grant.  Click here for a PDF copy of the membership application form.  The membership year runs from January to December.

In allocating these funds, priority will be given to first-time student member applicants.  Since it is usually not possible to completely cover all the requests received, the amount of the grant will depend on the number of applicants and distance.

CAG student members may request a copy of the Travel Grant application from  valerie.shoffey@cag-acg.ca by quoting their CAG Membership ID number.
