ASA Announces Additional Funds for Irene H. Chayes Travel Grants

The American Society for Aesthetics is pleased to announce that it has increased to $1200 (total) the amount of funding for each of the four ASA Divisions to use for travel support for persons presenting papers at the divisional meetings who have no institutional support for travel.

The awards commenced in 2018, with $1000 (total) available to each of the then-three ASA Divisions to support travel. The guidelines were established by the ASA, with each Division making the final decisions on which presenters receive funds and for how much. The increased funding is made possible by an unexpected receipt of additional funds from the Estate of Irene H. Chayes.

Among requirements for eligibility:

· Recipients must be a member of ASA in good standing in the calendar year of the paper submission and presentation and register for the meeting.

·Eligible persons include faculty members, independent scholars, students, and organizers.

These grants have been made possible by a generos bequest from the Irene H. Chayes Estate. For more information about her and her publications: click here.
