APSA Carer Support for Conference Attendance Funding Scheme

APSA is pleased to announce the launch of the APSA Carer Support for Conference Attendance Funding Scheme. 

For details please refer to the APSA Carer Support for Conference Attendance Funding Scheme Guidelines.

The Australian Political Studies Association (APSA) acknowledges that carer responsibilities have the potential to hinder academics from being able to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by academic conferences. The scheme provides financial support to APSA members for the additional caring responsibilities that arise from conference attendance with a limited number of grants worth up to $500 each. The potential uses of these awards include, but are not limited to, short-term childcare or professional carers for elderly relatives.

Applications for 2021 round should be submitted (via email) to the APSA National Office at arts-ssps-apsa@unimelb.edu.au by 5pm on Monday 6 September 2021 (AEST). 

Download the application form.

Both successful and unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email. Successful applicants will be reimbursed for the actual cost following the conference on submission of all relevant receipts via email to the APSA National Office at arts-ssps-apsa@unimelb.edu.au.
