The Madonna Marsden International Travel Grant
for Individuals presenting at the National Conference or attending the International Popular Culture Conference
For 2012, the Endowment Board has decided to award 10 grants @ $500 each. This grant is open to both International scholars and United States-based academics. These travel grants are named after the late Madonna Marsden, a teacher/scholar/writer/editor who was part of the Popular Culture Association and the American Culture Association from their formative years and throughout her career.
The Madonna Marsden award supports travel by individuals not resident in the United States to the national PCA/ACA meeting each year. It also supports travel by US citizens to PCA/ACA international conferences which are held every other year. This grant may not be used to travel from Alaska or Hawaii to the contiguous 48 states and vice versa. People seeking funds for such travel should apply for a Schoenecke or Rollins Award.
Applicants should complete the application process detailed below and submit it electronically to Endowment Director Fred Isaac at fredisaac@aol.com no later than January 7, 2012. Please note that applicants may apply for only one Endowment grant in a given year.
Proposals will be evaluated on
- quality of the paper's thesis and scope
- extent to which the paper reflects and contributes to the study of Popular Culture Studies and/or American Culture Studies
Thank you to all of the applicants for Madonna Marsden Grant funding. The deadline has now closed.
