Jeffrey Grey Memorial Travel Grant

The Jeffrey Grey Memorial Travel Grant honors the late Dr. Jeffrey Grey of Australia, a former president of the Society for Military History. The annual award of up to $3,000 supports an outstanding graduate student enrolled in a graduate program located outside North America, to assist with travel expenses associated with presenting a paper or participating in a roundtable at the annual meeting of the Society.

The recipient is recognized at the Society’s awards dinner and receives a complimentary ticket to the event.

Applicants must be enrolled in an accredited graduate degree program outside North America and must not currently reside in North America. Students may apply before notification of inclusion in the conference program, but eligibility for the award requires formal acceptance of their paper or roundtable proposal.

Eligible students may also apply for a Russell F. Weigley Graduate Student Travel Grant. Applicants are considered for both awards but may receive only one in a given year.

Email the following to the chair of the travel grant committee as a single document:

• a one-page cover letter;
• a current curriculum vitae, not to exceed three pages;
• a travel budget outlining expected costs for travel and lodging;
• a copy of the proposed paper or roundtable proposal.

In addition, the applicant’s primary academic advisor must send a letter of recommendation to the chair separately.

The committee evaluates applications on the quality, originality, and potential contribution of the proposed work to the field of military history.
