Overview
The Southern Conference on British Studies solicits applications for the Sheldon Hanft Travel Award for 2011 from graduate students in British Studies at universities within the SCBS region, comprising the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia.
The award carries a grant of $1,000 and is made each year on a competitive basis to support research in British Studies (including the history and culture of the Empire and Commonwealth as well as of the British Isles) which requires extended travel from the researcher’s home base. Awards alternate between established scholars and graduate students, with those for even-numbered years designated for established scholars without geographic restriction and awards for odd-numbered years designated for graduate students enrolled within the SCBS region.
Since the purpose of a Hanft Travel Award is to assist in defraying the cost of research travel, the award may not be applied to other expenses. Travel funded by the awards may be international or within the United States or another country so long as it furthers research in some aspect of British Studies. Recipients will be reimbursed after completion of their travel and presentation of documented travel expenditures to the SCBS Secretary-Treasurer.
Applications from graduate students for the 2011 Hanft Travel Award must be submitted no later than 15 September 2010. A complete application will consist of a cover letter, a description of the substance and significance of the research project to which the award will be applied, a copy of the applicant’s CV, and a letter of support from the student’s mentor or dissertation director. All materials should be sent to:

Chair, Hanft Travel Award Committee
Office of Academic Affairs
Dalton State College

Dalton, GA 30720-3797
