The Association of Print Scholars (APS) is pleased to offer a travel grant in the amount of $500 to a scholar presenting a paper at the 2025 RSA Annual Meeting.
The APS Travel Grant in the amount of $500 will be awarded to one member, whose paper has been accepted for participation in the 2025 RSA Annual Meeting to be held in Boston from March 20 to 25, 2025. The deadline to submit application materials for support to attend the RSA Meeting is January 10, for notification on January 21.
In an effort to increase access and promote innovative approaches to
printmaking, APS is especially committed to subsidizing a graduate student, adjunct lecturer, and emerging or independent scholar, who has limited institutional resources to cover costs related to presenting at RSA. The APS Travel Grant is intended to defray expenses related to conference participation. Expenses covered by the grant can include, but are not limited to, conference registration fees, travel, lodging, subsistence fees, and costs associated with accessibility needs. Applications will be evaluated on the intellectual merit of the paper and applicant’s need.
Eligibility Requirements:
– Applicant must be an APS member in good standing.
– Applicant’s paper must focus on an aspect of printmaking or printmaking
history.
– Applicant must be presenting a paper (other roles, such as chair,
discussant, or roundtable participant are not eligible to apply). Please
note that papers accepted to the APS-affiliated panel are eligible for
consideration.
– Applicant must live outside the conference city.
– Applicant’s paper cannot have been presented previously at another
conference.

– Paper title and abstract of the accepted paper (no more than 250 words).
Please also include the title of the panel, names of the chair(s), and
