Congress funding

The Federation offers three funding programs to support international collaboration, interdisciplinary exchange, graduate student participation, and public engagement at the annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences. 

• The International Keynote Speaker Support Fund to defray the fees and costs of a major address is available to participating members; one application per association. 
• The Aid for Interdisciplinary Sessions Fund offers grants to support sessions jointly organized by two or more participating associations; one lead application per association.
• The Congress Graduate Merit Award facilitates the participation of graduate students in Congress activities. Each association planning to hold a conference at the event will receive a set number of CGMAs, each worth $500, to support their most deserving student members.
