ASA members in need of financial assistance to participate at the Annual Meeting can apply for the Solidarity Fund Grant, which provides reimbursement of travel costs (up to $400) and conference registration fees.
 

Eligibility

Priority will go to contingent faculty, community-based scholars and artists, unemployed or underemployed scholars, and undergraduate students. Graduate students should apply for the Baxter travel grant.  The ASA is particularly concerned with helping those who have no (or limited) support from their institutions or other sources, who incur substantial costs for travel to and from the convention, and who have not received travel reimbursement or emergency funds from the ASA in a prior year.

Application Instructions

Fill out this form and submit by 11:59pm (PT) on May 1, 2025.
