Closing date: Open

Travel grants are available to cover expenses to foster cross-institutional initiatives or attendance at events which may lead to outcomes which would benefit a substantial fraction of AALL members. The exact number of travel grants available in any one year may vary depending on advice from the AALL Treasurer. Travel grants will normally be approved up to $1,000 AUD, unless the applicant can demonstrate a need for additional funds (e.g. travel to/from distant locations).
