The RSA Travel Grant is a fantastic opportunity to help you towards your travel costs to present your work, network and participate at world wide non-RSA events within the field. You can apply* for up to £500 funding towards your travel costs to attend a non RSA event.
In offering this award, the Regional Studies Association is seeking to promote and encourage research and dissemination activities, both within and across trans-national borders and to further the overall aims and objectives of the Association.
We particularly encouraged Students and Early Careers to apply. As a maximum of two applications can be awarded per round, those who are not successful are welcome to reapply.
The forthcoming 2015 deadlines for applications are:
- Friday 28th August
- Friday 27th November
