USITT International Travel Grant Applications Now Open
July 12, 2024
Howdy travelers! As designers and technicians, we spend so much time doing meticulous research so we can recreate hundreds of different times, people, and places on stage. Thanks to modern tech, we're able to find most information at the click of a button. But there's nothing like hands-on, in-person research. USITT is here to help you fund your next research expedition with the help of our International Travel Grants. These grants are awarded to students and professionals who want to expand their knowledge and experiences through international travel!
Travel grants are awarded to projects that:
- Seek new knowledge through international travel to exhibitions, productions, and collections; or
- Provide opportunities in design for international companies; and
- Include a method of sharing experiences with the USITT Membership
You can apply for these grants at both student and professional levels! Professional-level applicants must be current Members, Member Plus, or Senior Members of USITT. Professional grants are given to fund international travel for advanced research and education in theatre-related fields. Student applicants must be current Student Members of USITT. Student applicants must all be full-time students who demonstrate excellence or outstanding potential in research or design in any field related to the mission of USITT.
Award winners will receive up to $2500 in to support travel and a complimentary full Conference registration for the Annual Conference & Stage Expo!
