The Center for Folklore Studies is offering one-time, small travel grants for currently enrolled graduate students pursuing the Graduate Interdisciplinary Specialization to present at folklore studies conferences this academic year. The award is eligible for conference travel through August 15, 2025. To apply, please send documentation of your presentation in a conference program, the abstract of your presentation, and a budget for travel expenses to cfs@osu.edu no fewer than fourteen days before conference travel AND before April 4, 2025 (whichever comes first). Please note that funds are limited, so all applications may not be approved and travel grants may only partially fund travel.

The center’s awards, grants and scholarships are disbursed through OSU Student Financial Aid. Students already receiving substantial aid from other sources should review their current-year packages and consult with Buckeye Link to confirm their ability to accept awards prior to applying. A student may not receive financial aid and other resources in excess of the annual cost of attendance at the university in accordance with federal guidelines.  If you receive additional financial resources and/or assistance, it may impact your eligibility for other financial aid awards. If you have any questions about your individual situation, consult Buckeye Link at 614-292-0300 or by email at buckeyelink@osu.edu.
