AIPS Travel Support

AIPS can provide funding for conference travel for the presentation of papers or organization of panels that include topics relevant to Pakistan studies at scholarly conferences.

We can provide up to $600 for travel to conferences within the United States, and up to $1500 for international travel. Due to recent federal travel restrictions, we cannot provide funding for travel to Pakistan.

Submit a letter of request with supporting documents as outlined below. AIPS can only support $600, but we need to see the total budget with the application. Applications are open to all students and faculty from institutions of higher education in the U.S. or individuals who are AIPS Members. Preference will be given to scholars who are Individual AIPS Members or are affiliated with an Institutional Member of AIPS (visit the membership page for more information). Applications are accepted at any time and will be reviewed by the AIPS Executive Committee. You will be notified of the status of your application once a decision has been reached.

Include in your letter of request:

  1. Paper/Panel Title
  2. Abstract stating relevance to Pakistan Studies
  3. Prior AIPS support
  4. Budget (include all travel costs, hotel costs, and conference registration)
  5. Current CV
  6. Pre-doctoral applications should also include a letter of recommendation from their dissertation advisor

Applications may be sent via email or post to J. Mark Kenoyer.
