Clemson University Special Collections and Archives (SCA) has created a new Research Travel Award to assist researchers from across the country in visiting SCA to conduct their research. The award provides financial support for master’s or doctoral graduate students or established scholars to visit and conduct original research in SCA.
“Acknowledging that securing funding is challenging in today’s world, we wanted to be able to provide a Research Travel Award,” said Head of SCA Nick Richbell. “This award is to allow researchers the opportunity to visit us in person. Although we always try and provide digital copies on request, there is something incredibly rewarding about seeing our unique and distinct archival materials in person.”
Researchers can receive up to $5,000, which can be used towards travel and accommodation in Clemson for the purpose of visiting SCA and accessing its collections for their research. SCA specializes in collections related to political, military, agriculture and local history.
Completed applications for the 2025 award cycle should be submitted by December 15, 2024, to nrichbe@nullclemson.edu. Current Clemson University students and faculty are not eligible for the award. Visit the Research Travel Award website for more information about application requirements and criteria.
