The Society of Dance History Scholars is launching a new endowment
fund to provide travel assistance to young scholars. Entitled the Travel
Assistance Fund, the purpose of the fund is to help underwrite the travel
expenses of scholars at the early stages of their career. With a goal of
$10,000 the newly established fund will at least partly offset the diminishing
travel monies available to scholars at the outset of their careers while
demonstrating the Society's continued support for new scholarship.
We appeal to your generosity. A contribution to the Travel assistance
Fund will make it possible for greater numbers of emerging scholars to
attend Society conferences and establish themselves in the field of dance
scholarship. Cheques should be made out to the Society of Dance History
Scholars and sent to the Society's new Treasurer, Cathy Black, at 291 RBN,
Box 22001, Department of Dance, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah 84602.
The name of the fund should be written on the memo line.
