Diversity and Inclusion Convention Travel Grant
Thanks to the generous contributions by individual donors and institutional members University of Pittsburgh REEES and UC Berkeley ISEEES, ASEEES is able to offer the ASEEES Diversity and Inclusion Convention Travel Grant program to subsidize travel to attend the ASEEES Annual Convention.
Program Purpose:
The purpose of this grant program is:
To promote diversity in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies by fostering greater inclusion of underrepresented minority students in the field, and
To provide greater understanding of the experiences of racial and ethnic minorities, members of the LGBTQ community, and people with disabilities in Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
