In honor of Anita Affeldt, the Association for Asian American Studies will provide two conference awards to help defray graduate student travel expenses incurred by participating in its annual conference. The award will include three nights (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) at the conference hotel (Hyatt Regency McCormick Place Hotel, Chicago, Illinois) and waived student conference registration fee. The approximate value of each award is $775. Recipients will be selected on the basis of merit, need, and other special considerations.

To qualify for one of these awards, a student must:

- be a member of the Association for Asian American Studies for the 2008 calendar year;

- have a paper proposal accepted for the 2008 conference;

- complete and submit the Graduate Student Conference Award application below;

- submit a copy of his/her paper proposal and curriculum vita.

Decisions regarding awards will be determed by a committee of the AAAS Board.

Deadline: Applications and supporting materials must be received by JANUARY 15, 2008
