and Arts (SSHA), researching the experiences of Africans and African-descended people worldwide, past and present. Preference will be given to graduate students in SSHA. The Center is a research and cultural hub committed to advancing innovative and interdisciplinary
research on Africa and the Diaspora. It supports events and activities for Black students and faculty to connect, seek mentorship, and lay the foundation for future leaders, activists, and scholars. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Travel Conference Grants of up to $500 are meant to offset costs associated with attending academic conferences relevant to the student’s discipline/research
area. These awards may be used for travel expenses, such as airfare, lodging, meals, ground transportation, and conference registration. Grants should be used by January 31, 2024. While grant recipients do not need to present at the conference, applicants
must specify in their proposals how their attendance/participation at the conference would 1) enhance their research and scholarship and 2) broaden their professional networks. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
