Application for Latin American Studies Graduate Student
Conference Paper Presentation Travel Support
This program is exclusively for Latin American Studies graduate students at Tulane University. This program requires the actual
presentation of a research paper at a recognized professional academic conference. It is intended to help offset the costs of travel to
present at such a conference. It does not support simple conference attendance, nor does it support conference participation in any
other capacity, nor does it support participation in specialized workshops, working groups, symposia, or seminars. Request for funding
must be made at least one month prior to the conference. See "Stone Center Financial Support: Policies and Procedures" for
complete details and deadlines. By submitting this application you agree to all the terms and conditions outlined in the guidelines.
