Eileen Rositzka Travel Grants

The War and Media Studies (WMS) special interest group will again offer three small travel grants for members accepted into the annual conference. Each grant will be $100, and the competition will be restricted to our graduate student members and those who are precariously employed. Recipients will be determined through random selection from among applications received by the annual deadline. These grants are named in honor of Eileen Rositzka, a founding WMS member. Special thanks is due to previous SIG co-chair Karen Ritzenhoff who has generously donated $100 so that we could sponsor a third travel grant.
