Sri Lanka Studies

The American Institute for Sri Lankan Studies (AISLS) will make a travel grant of $300 to any graduate student who gives a paper or acts as a discussant concerning Sri Lanka at the South Asia Conference organized by the South Asian Studies Alliance (SASA) at Claremont Graduate School, Claremont CA, March 29-30, 2008. Applicants must have been individual members of the AISLS for one year before the conference, or be enrolled at an institution that is a member [ http://aisls.org/about.html ] of the AISLS. Individuals living in the Los Angeles metropolitan area at the time of the conference are not eligible, but if participating in the program may request reimbursement of the $75 registration fee. Eligible individuals whose papers are accepted for the conference program should contact the AISLS treasurer, Caitrin Lynch. [treasurer@aisls.org] Payment will be by mail the week after the conference.  AISLS plans to continue this program for the 2009 SASA Conference.

Pakistan Studies

The AIPS announces the travel to conferences to its members by email, and people who are interested in submitting proposals need to contact the President (J. Mark Kenoyer at jkenoyer@wisc.edu). We provide up to $500 for travel in the US and up to $1200 for travel to international conferences. We do not provide travel to people from outside the US to come to the US. Our support is for US based scholars who are members of AIPS or work at institutions that are members of AIPS. For more information, see our website:  http://www.pakistanstudies-aips.org/
