2016 Travel Grants

Our colleagues at Roundabout Entertainment have funded three additional Community Fund Travel Grants for the upcoming AMIA 2016 in Pittsburgh.  With Roundabout’s contribution, there will be 14 travel grants offered for the conference this year!

The three new Community Fund grants are funded through a donation by Roundabout Entertainment. One grant is sponsored by the San Francisco Silent Film Festival – allowing the recipient an opportunity to also attend the Festival in 2017.  Ten are sponsored by your contributions to the AMIA Community Fund.  Your donations and matching funds from AMIA increased this year’s grants from four in 2015 to 10 in 2016.

Grants are open to AMIA members and offer reimbursement of up to $1,000 for travel and other expenses but differ slightly in the full package.  You may apply for both grants, but must apply separately.
