Event Grants

Deadline Extended to March 1
The Society for the History of Children and Youth offers event grants every biennium 
SHCY will award two $500 grants and one $1500 grant for events that take place in 2023–24

The $500 grants will help defray expenses for speakers, workshops,
and other scholarly events fully or partially devoted to the history of children and youth. 

    The $1500 grant will help offset the costs of a regional conference 
    dedicated to the history of children and youth and held in 2023–24.

    Possible Uses:

    • Keynote speakers or panelists
    • Receptions
    • Printed materials
    • Publicity
    • Support for students attending the event 
       

    Application deadline for both grants: March 1, 2023 (notice of decision May 1).

    One-page applications should be submitted as PDF files via email to the Outreach Committee: Emily Bruce, Michael Grossberg, and Karen Sands-O’Connor.

    • Date, location, and primary sponsor of event
    • Description of audience (size, makeup)
    • Total cost of event and other confirmed or potential funding sources
    • Description of event that articulates how it contributes to all or part of SHCY’s mission: promoting the history of children and youth by supporting research about childhood, youth cultures, and the experience of young people across diverse times and places; fostering study across disciplinary and methodological boundaries; providing venues for scholars to communicate with one another; and promoting excellence in scholarship.
