Committee on Women in Agricultural Economics Graduate Student Travel Grants, 2015


The Committee on Women in Agricultural Economics (CWAE) is soliciting applications for graduate student travel awards. Two grants will be awarded to offset travel expenses for the 2015 AAEA & WAEA Joint Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Up to $1250 will be awarded to each recipient, based on expected travel costs and merit. The deadline for applications is May 15, 2015. Awards will be announced by May 25, 2015.

A qualifying applicant must be a current graduate student engaged at an accredited college, university, or other institution in an applied economics field that addresses topics consistent with the AAEA Vision Statement.

CWAE is open to the entire community of AAEA members. Those who have been awarded other AAEA grants to attend the 2015 AAEA Annual Meeting are not eligible for consideration.

  2. In recent years with the introduction of tuition fees university positions are becoming increasingly hard to secure. With more A Level students than ever before applying for university the UCAS personal statement is now more important than ever. personal statement writing service
