Travel and Dependent Caregiver Grants

Priority deadline: August 6, 2026

The Association for Jewish Studies (AJS) is committed to broad participation in its Annual Conference. It especially aims to support untenured faculty, graduate students, independent scholars without full-time employment, caregivers who need dependent care during the conference, and international scholars with little or no institutional funding.

All accepted presenters (speakers, moderators, discussants, respondents, conveners, or chairs) from the above categories are eligible to apply for need-based travel grants. And all accepted presenters may apply for dependent caregiver grants.

Applicants will be considered for all grants for which they are eligible but may receive funding from only one source.

Priority for travel grants is given to those who apply by August 6. Applications submitted after that date will be placed on a waitlist.
