The Weatherhead Center offers financial resources for graduate student conferences and workshops at Harvard taking place during the 2009–2010 academic year that address topics relating to international affairs

Grants

Grants are generally in the $500 to $1,000 range, but the Center can consider larger requests. The Center is also willing to co-sponsor conferences with other departments or centers.

Who is Eligible?

Graduate students who need funds to support conferences related to international affairs that directly benefit graduate students may apply. Preference will be given to conferences that are organized in part by Graduate Student Associates and that have not been recently funded.

How to Apply

Interested students should submit a detailed description of the conference (1-2 pages) including its theme(s), goals, and intended audience; a conference agenda; and a budget, along with a completed application cover sheet. (PDF forthcoming)

After the event, grant recipients must submit a brief summary report on the event to the Weatherhead Center.

Questions or applications should be directed to Clare Putnam, Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, 1737 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA 02138.

Deadlines

October 1, 2009, and February 4, 2010.
