first week of December.

The form is also linked from the VRA homepage.
You do not need to be a member of the VRA to apply for a travel award, but
please note that upon winning an award an applicant who is not a member of
VRA must purchase a membership, with the option to use funding from the
travel award to do this.
Please also note that award checks are distributed at the conference and as
such, recipients will not have access to those funds ahead of the
conference to set against travel expenses.
In order to allow funding to go further, Tansey awards will be distributed
according to financial need i.e. full awards (up to $850) may be given to
some, whilst lower amounts may be awarded to others with partial
institutional/other support.
For 2014, we are fortunate to have generous financial support from sponsors
and funds provided by the membership:
* Two New Horizons awards of $850 each. These awards are aimed at
members in the following categories: solo VR professionals, part-time VR
professionals, geographically isolated VR professionals, VR professionals
in smaller institutions, and/or first-time attendees
* A New Horizons student award of $300, for a full-time student
enrolled in an accredited degree program and considering a career in visual
resources
* Tansey fund awards ranging from $250 to $850 each
More awards may become available and will be announced on this listserv.
Also, stay tuned and watch VRA-L and the VRA website for further details
about the conference. Please email if you have any questions not answered
by the documents noted above.
So don't delay - apply today!
We look forward to receiving your applications,
