SEESA Harrison Small Grants 2005

[ElisabethElliott]

The Southeast European Studies Association (SEESA) is currently accepting applications for
its Harrison Small Grants program.  The deadline is 18 March 2005.

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 that 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 at a North American university.  Priority is given to students presenting a paper at a
conference held in North America.  In years in which a SEESA Conference is held,
applications for this grant must be used for participation in the SEESA Conference.  A SEESA
Conference will be held 28-30 April 2005 at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

The award process is competitive, as only a limited number of grants can be made.  The
number and amount of each grant, which will not exceed $400, will be contingent upon the
income from the Harrison Endowment to SEESA each year.  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 will include:

*a cover letter with a brief summary of the proposed paper
*a one-page curriculum vitae
*a letter of support from a university faculty member
*an estimated budget for conference participation
(only transportation costs, lodging, and conference registration fees)

The application must be received by the deadline:18 March 2005.

Grants will be disbursed to award recipients when 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 Balkanistica.

Applications should be sent to:
