| 2026 AERA Annual Meeting Graduate Student Assistance Fund Call for Applications SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 7, 2026, 11:59 p.m. PT AERA invites applications for the Annual Meeting Graduate Student Assistance Fund (AMGSAF). This fund will provide support to enable Graduate Student members of AERA with demonstrated need to offset the cost of attending the 2026 AERA Annual Meeting in Los Angeles, California, April 8-12. This funding initiative aims to expand access to the Annual Meeting for graduate students by offering an additional funding resource for those who might not otherwise be able to attend the place-based meeting. This Association-wide Annual Meeting Assistance Fund reflects AERA’s continuing commitment to prioritize graduate students in our field and to support their success through targeted programming and initiatives. AERA will make up to 100 awards (maximum amount: $500) to Graduate Student members of AERA to help offset the cost of attending the 2026 Annual Meeting in Los Angeles. Students enrolled in institutions both within and outside the U.S. are eligible to apply. Graduate students who receive travel funding for the 2026 Annual Meeting from other AERA sources (e.g., divisions or SIGs) are not eligible for funding from the AMGSAF.
