Academic Awards Program
In 2001, the “Best Graduate Paper Awards” competition was established by AMSS to encourage scholarship among graduate students participating in annual conferences. In 2009, this annual competition was expanded into an “Academic Awards Program” to include three separate awards: Annual Research Travel Grant; Annual Best Graduate Research Paper Awards Competition; and the Doctoral Scholarship Program.
Open to junior scholars who have earned a Ph.D. This award is based on a scholar’s academic record and course of study in the field of Muslim and/or Islamic studies, involving the humanities and social sciences. To apply please fill out the application and submit to travelgrants@naaims.org.
