Information on the GSA International Travel Grants:

The GSA International Travel Grants are awarded annually. Applicants do not need to be members of the GSA or GSA International to apply (although it is preferred). Successful applicants must reside outside of North America, and they must present their research at the GSA meeting to be eligible to receive the grant funds via wire transfer after the meeting.

The GSA International Travel Grants are limited, both in number of awards and in allocations. It is highly recommended that you seek local funding to offset the cost of attending the GSA Connects annual meeting. Please bear in mind that the GSA seeks student volunteers to aid in registration and other meeting related activities, and selected students will receive registration waivers. The call for student volunteers will come from within the GSA Meetings Department.
