LASA Travel Grants provide support for participants traveling to the Congress city, Paris, France.
To submit a grant request, your LASA membership or All Access (membership + congress registration with discount) must expire after September 9, 2025.
Participants who have received grants in any of the past three congresses (2025, 2024, or 2023) are not eligible to apply for a grant at the next LASA2026 Congress.
Only paper authors are eligible for travel grants. Discussants, chairs, workshop, or roundtable participants without papers are not eligible. Co-authors must each submit a travel grant application.
Failure to accurately fill out every blank on the form or submit a CV with the travel grant will invalidate the travel grant application (US Non-Tenured need to submit an additional letter from their department stating they are full-time and in a non-tenured track).
Applying for a grant type that you are not eligible for will invalidate the travel grant application.
If your grant application is accepted:
You will receive an email containing a contract via DocuSign. You must accept and digitally sign the contract by January 13, 2026. Your travel grant will be revoked if you do not accept and digitally sign the contract by the deadline.
You must register for the Congress or renew your All Access (membership + congress registration with discount) no later than March 6, 2026. Failure to do so will result in the participants’ removal from the official Congress program, and therefore, the revocation of the travel grant.
You must upload your paper using the Paper Management application by April 13, 2026. If you fail to upload your paper by the deadline your travel grant will be revoked.
You must attend the Congress in Paris, France. Failure to attend the Congress will result in a forfeiture of your grant.
Should the LASA2026 Congress in Paris, France, be canceled, travel grants will be void. LASA is not responsible for the expenses incurred in your travel plans such as plane tickets or accommodation.
