The Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Doctoral Student Travel Award Program is now accepting applications for the 2024 Annual Conference, January 10-14, 2024, in Washington, DC. Applications are due Friday, November 20, 2023, by 11:59 PM EST.
Program Purpose: The SSWR Doctoral Student Travel Award Program is designed to increase the diversity of doctoral student presenters from underrepresented groups by assisting in their ability to attend and present their work at the SSWR Annual Conference with a travel stipend and a complimentary conference registration.
Eligibility: Applicants must: 1) be currently enrolled doctoral students and 2) have received an abstract acceptance as a presenting author for the 2024 SSWR conference.

All eligible applicants must demonstrate a current and significant financial hardship or special circumstances that may adversely impact attendance at the 2024 SSWR conference. Awardees will be selected by the SSWR Research Capacity Development Committee (RCDC).
Awards: Up to 30 travel stipends of $500 each will be distributed at the conference check-in. Stipends are intended to defray costs associated with being a presenter at the 2024 Annual Conference (such as airfare, ground travel, hotel, meals, etc.). Conference registration will be covered for all recipients of the travel stipend.
