Young Professional and Graduate Student Travel Grants

The Travel Grants help to defray housing and transportation costs associated with attendance at the annual meeting of the American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA). A qualifying applicant must be a graduate student or comparatively new junior professional engaged at an accredited U.S. college, university, or other institution in such applied economics fields as agribusiness, agricultural, consumer, food, development, environmental, health, marketing, regional, rural, or resource economics. On account of the Trust?s goal of broadening participation in the Annual Meeting, preference may be given to individuals working under institutional circumstances not normally conducive to AAEA meeting attendance.

Applications should be submitted by the individual seeking support; however, only two applications from each department or division will be accepted. In the event that more than two applications are submitted from a specific department or division, it will be up to the department head to decide which two will be considered. Applications will be accepted only from U.S. colleges, universities, and institutions.

Application deadline is commonly in April. Visit funder website for more information.
