Institute for Anarchist Studies Grant Deadline Approaches

Posted on January 12th, 2010 in AK Allies, Anarchist Publishers

Okay, this is a little late in the game, but any budding (or fully blossomed) anarchist scholars out there have three days to submit their application to receive a grant from the Institute for Anarchist Studies. Here’s the lowdown from their website:

—–

The Institute for Anarchist Studies awards an annual total of $4,000 in grants to writers and translators of essay-length works. Grant awards range from $250 to $1,000. Essay-length work is considered to be approximately 20 to 50 pages (10,000 to 25,000 words). Completed essays will be considered for publication in the IAS online journal Perspectives on Anarchist Theory, or as part of a forthcoming small book series in collaboration with AK Press.

Grant recipients will be expected to complete their project within six months of receiving the award (usually August 30 or January 31 of a given year).

Application deadlines are January 15 and June 15 of each year. These deadlines are firm, and applications received after these deadlines will be considered in the next cycle of grants. Awards are made in February and July, and replies will be mailed to all applicants within six weeks after the deadlines.

For more on the application process, see the FAQ (frequently asked questions) section on this Web site.

If you are unable to apply online, please write us to request a paper copy of the application, or download and print the application form. Requests and completed applications should be mailed to: PO Box 15586, Washington, DC 20003
