The Academy’s Travel Awards for Assistant, Associate Professors and for part-time faculty are all closed. We hope to reopen them in the Fall for conferences that take place on July 1 2018 to May 2019. Due to the nature of the New York State fiscal year, we cannot provide travel awards to conferences that take place in the month of June. International travel must, whenever possible, be on a US flag carrier. Due to a state executive order, travel is not supported to North Carolina and Mississippi.
