The Historians of Islamic Art Association offers travel grants for graduate students who are presenting papers at an annual meeting of a professional society (usually MESA , CAA, or SAH). Preference is given to papers to be presented at HIAA-sponsored panels. The travel grants allow students to receive support for which they might not otherwise be eligible. Each student selected will receive assistance in travel expenses and will be designated as a HIAA Fellow for the year, with a letter sent to her/his department chair. The maximum amount to be awarded is $500.

Applications for HIAA Travel Grants must be received by December 15 or June 1. The application should include a c.v., an outline of projected travel expenses (transportation and board), and abstract of paper. Applicants must forward proof of acceptance of the paper before an award can be made. Please send materials at least one month prior to the date of the conference to:
