Selection policy: Bursaries will be determined based on the conference abstract, the applicant’s potential benefit from attending, and financial need. Preference will be given to participants from economically disadvantaged countries and to participants who demonstrate creativity in meeting much of the cost from other sources. A limited number of bursaries will be available to scholars who cannot attract funding support from their own institutions or networks.
Selection Process: Applicants should submit the following items to the president of IGALA: Denise Troutman (troutma1 at msu.edu).

  *   A statement of the amount requested and a detailed budget (e.g., airfare and accommodation).
  *   A short statement from an academic supervisor or head of department to explain why the applicant would benefit from attending the conference, and why the applicant’s institution and/or country of residence is not able to provide funding to attend the conference.


Note: Individuals who are not affiliated with an academic institution at the time of application may submit a short statement explaining their funding situation and outlining how they may benefit from attending the conference. Applications written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese are acceptable for submissions.
Due Date: Applications for travel bursaries for IGALA13 must be received by 5pm, June 30, 2025 (EST).
Notification: A committee drawn from IGALA executive members will assess the application and will notify successful applicants as soon as possible after receiving the application.
Receipt stipulation: Successful applicants are required to submit all receipts to the application committee upon attending the conference. Travel bursaries will be distributed by the IGALA13 Conference Organizing Committee.

1)   The applicant’s abstract as relevant to the conference theme [https://igala2025.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/1st.-call-for-papers.pdf] and/or relevance to IGALA’s aims [see IGALA’s website: https://igalaweb.wixsite.com/igala/about].
