NWSA Lesbian Caucus

Graduate Student Scholarship Award

Are you aware that each year the Lesbian Caucus of the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA) makes an award of $500 to a graduate student conducting research towards a Master’s Thesis or a Doctoral Dissertation?

Attached is a copy of the flyer and application cover sheet for the annual NWSA Lesbian Caucus Graduate Student Scholarship Award. This same information can also be viewed online at http://www.nwsa.org/scholarship/lcguide.php where applicants who are NWSA members can process submissions electronically. (Information on other NWSA scholarship & award opportunities can be found at http://www.nwsa.org/scholarship/index.php).

March 1st is the postmark (or electronic postmark) deadline for submissions so there’s still plenty of time to prepare and submit an application packet! Students making submissions to any of the NWSA award competitions are encouraged to apply also for NWSA travel grants (deadline February 15th) so that in the event they are selected a winner they can be considered for a travel grant.

The winner of the 2007 Lesbian Caucus scholarly research award will be invited to attend the annual NWSA Lesbian Caucus Breakfast Reception during the 2007 conference and will be welcome to submit a related article/essay for publication in NWSAction (Fall 2007).

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. For further information, feel free to contact me at lcchair@lists.nwsa.org.

Best,
Lisa Burke
