Lunsford Travel Grant

RSA makes travel grant awards to graduate students of color who participate in the conference. These awards are made possible through the generosity of the Andrea Lunsford Diversity Fund. This endowed fund honors Andrea Lunsford’s longtime commitments to promoting diversity within RSA and the education and professional development of graduate students in rhetoric.

For the 2024 Conference, all graduate student members will be notified by email when the Lunsford Travel Grant application period opens. The February 29, 2024 deadline for applications has passed.
