ASA Announces Increased Travel Grants for Annual Meetings

The American Society for Aesthetics is pleased to announce that the ASA Board of Trustees has unanimously approved increasing the size of travel grants to the ASA Annual Meeting to $1400 from the previous $1000. These increases are for all student travel grants; all Irene H. Chayes and ASA Friends travel grants; all prize winners; newsletter, social media, and journal book review editors; and untenured program committee members.

The Trustees recognize the increasing pressure of rising travel costs and declining institutional support for persons presenting work at the ASA Annual Meetings. Persons awarded those grants for the 2022 meeting will be receiving individual notifications from the ASA in the coming weeks with instructions concerning eligible expenses and procedures for reimbursement after the meeting of those expenses. The higher amounts will remain in place for future annual meetings.
