Government and Nonprofit Section
Midyear and Annual Meeting Travel Grants

The GNP Section sponsors $500 travel grants for the midyear GNP section meeting and the AAA annual meeting. The grants are intended to assist doctoral students interested in GNP research by defraying a portion of the costs of attending these meetings and to allow doctoral students interested in GNP topics to interact with GNP Section members.

In return for the grant, recipients will be expected to attend GNP workshops (at no cost, of course) where they will be introduced to Section members that have similar teaching and research interests.

Applicants should send a letter which describes their interest in governmental and nonprofit accounting teaching and research and provides support on why they feel they should receive the grant. Please include an e-mail address and phone number.
The deadlines for travel grant submissions are:

• December 15 for the GNP midyear meeting
• May 1 for the annual AAA August meeting

Applicants can apply for funding for both the midyear and annual meeting. Applicants generally will only be funded one time for each meeting.
