2004 Harrison Small Grants Program

[John Leafgren]

The South East European Studies Association (SEESA)is currently accepting
applications for its Harrison Small Grants program.

The purpose of the Harrison Small Grants program is to support
participation of graduate students in conferences at which they will be
presenting papers in any discipline related to the Southeast European
region, treating Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Greece, Macedonia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovenia,
and/or Turkey.  Proposals which focus on comparative analysis of issues
across national boundaries in Southeast Europe will be given preference.
To be eligible, an applicant must be a graduate student of a North American
university.  Priority is given to students presenting a paper at a
conference held in North America.

The award process is competitive, as only a limited number of grants can be
made, their number and the amount of each, which will not exceed $500, will
be contingent upon the income from the Harrison Endowment to SEESA.
Priority will be given to applicants who have not received a Harrison Small
Grant in the past.

The SEESA Grant Committee considers applications on a calendar-year basis.
Complete application packets, consisting of a cover letter, a one-page
c.v., a letter of support from a university faculty member, an estimated
budget for conference participation (only airfare, lodging, and conference
registration fees) and a brief summary of the proposed paper, must be
received by the application deadline.  The application deadline for all
proposals involving conferences during 2004 is March 31, 2004.  Please note
that this does make it possible, in some cases, to apply for support
involving participation in a conference which has just taken place (between
January 1 and March 31).

Grants will be disbursed to award recipients once travel, lodging and
registration fee receipts from conference participation and a brief report
on the conference are submitted to the SEESA treasurer following the
conference.  Grant recipients are also awarded a two-year free membership
in SEESA, which includes a subscription to the journal Balkanistica.

Applications should be sent to:

Prof. John Leafgren, SEESA President
Department of Russian and Slavic Studies
Learning Services Building 305
University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ  85721
