Travel Grant Requirements

Application eligibility

• To submit a grant request, you must have submitted a paper proposal, either individually or as part of a panel, before the submission deadline of February 26, 2026.
• Only paper authors are eligible for travel grants. Discussants, chairs, workshop, or roundtable participants without papers are not eligible. Co-authors must each submit a travel grant application.
• Failure to accurately complete every blank on the application form or to submit a CV with the travel grant application will invalidate the application.
• Applying for a grant type that you are not eligible for will invalidate the travel grant application.

Travel grant decisions are expected to be announced no later than May 19, 2026. Date subject to change based upon availability of funds.

If your grant application is accepted:

• You will receive an email containing a contract via DocuSign. You must accept and digitally sign the contract by June 2, 2026. Your travel grant will be revoked if you do not accept and digitally sign the contract by the deadline.
• You must register for the Symposium no later than June 16, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the participants’ removal from the official program, and therefore, the revocation of the travel grant.
• You must upload your paper using the Paper Management Application by June 30, 2026. If you fail to upload your paper by the deadline, your travel grant will be revoked.
• You must attend the Symposium in San Jose, Costa Rica. Failure to attend the symposium on-site will result in a forfeiture of your grant.
• Should the Symposium in San Jose, Costa Rica, be canceled, travel grants will be void. LASA is not responsible for the expenses incurred in your travel plans, such as plane tickets or accommodation.
