International Travel Stipends: The American Folklore Society warmly
encourages the attendance of folklorists and other cultural specialists
from outside the United States. International scholars are invited to write
to Dorothy Noyes, chair of the AFS Committee on International Issues, to
discuss ways in which they might participate in the meeting.
A limited number of travel stipends will be available on a competitive
basis for international scholars and practitioners at a junior level who
are participating in the annual meeting program. Stipends will vary
between $500 and $800, depending on the availability of funds and the
number of applicants.
The AFS particularly encourages applications from individuals who have
limited or no institutional support for travel, as well as from independent
scholars and freelance practitioners. Applicants should be in the early
stages of their careers. For the Albuquerque meeting we are especially
eager to hear from Latin American applicants.

We encourage AFS members and sections to spread the word, to help identify
potential applicants, to collaborate with international colleagues in the
application process, or to provide or seek matching funds to complement the
possible AFS award. For example, by adding a visit to your campus or a
consultation at your agency, you could fruitfully expand on an
international visitor's participation in the AFS meeting. We especially
welcome AFS member assistance in organizing panels that include
international participants.
Applications should include a brief curriculum vitae and a letter briefly
outlining what paper or other presentation the applicant will make, how
s/he will benefit from attending the meeting, and how s/he plans to
communicate the experience in her/his home professional context. The
overall goal of the travel awards is to increase international
communication and awareness of international issues in our field. Since
the AFS has very limited funding available, it is important for applicants
to think ahead about how they would communicate their experience
effectively to a larger professional community back home.
The deadline for submission of applications is April 15, 2003. Application
may be made by mail, by fax, or by e-mail before March 15th; after March
15th, applications must be made by e-mail. Please note that you must also
submit all registration information (as specified elsewhere in this
Invitation for Participation) to the main AFS address by the same April 15
deadline. Direct inquiries and applications to Dorothy Noyes, Mershon
Center, Ohio State University, 1501 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43201-2602
