|
1.) GENERAL INTRODUCTION: As one of the principal goals of
the International Shaw Society is to encourage younger generations to
experience the delights and enlightenment of reading and seeing Shaw’s works
and participating in the discussion of them, the ISS offers a generous
program of support for “emerging scholars” in the form of scholarships and
travel grants, which are allied with particular events, such as symposia and
conferences. 2.) TO CONTRIBUTE: To contribute to the fund
for grants and scholarships, include donations in your membership application
or renewal. See the membership form at www.shawsociety.org/2019-membership.htm. If
you give a minimum of $500, the grant the ISS gives with that can carry your
name, if you wish. This
year, for example, the ISS Grants will be named the Elizabeth and David Cayer
Grant, the Roelina and Charles Berst Grant, the Claudio and Rosalie Haddad
Grant, the Lori and Richard Dietrich Grant, the Robert A. Gaines Grant, and
the Joseph Hassett Grant. |

3.) INTRODUCTION TO BRYDEN SCHOLARSHIPS & ISS TRAVEL GRANTS IN
2019: For
the 2019 Summer Symposium in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Bryden
Scholarships are available and will pay for accommodation for the three
nights of the Symposium; Travel Grants (maximum of $500 unless you are
overseas) are available to assist “emerging scholars” in paying travel
expenses not otherwise reimbursed. You
can apply for both, and at least two Bryden Scholars will receive Travel
Grants as well. You can apply for a
Travel Grant without applying for a Bryden Scholarship. The deadline for
applying for the Bryden/Travel Grant or Bryden alone is May 1, 2019.
The deadline for applying for just a Travel Grant ($500 maximum) is
also May 1, 2019. The Bryden
Scholarship is named after Professor Ronald Bryden, former Literary Adviser
to the Shaw Festival, who was, at various times, the dramaturge to Britain’s
Royal Shakespeare Company, one of England’s leading drama critics, and the
head of the Graduate Centre for the Study of Drama at the University of
Toronto. A collection of his essays entitled Shaw and his Contemporaries has been published by the Shaw
Festival. |

For the 2019 Summer Symposium (August
15-16-17) in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, use the same form (at the bottom)
for your application for an ISS Travel Grant and/or a Bryden Scholarship. Send applications to VP Jennifer Buckley at
jennifer-buckley@uiowa.edu
and copy the Treasurer Michael O’Hara at mohara@bsu.edu
and the Webmaster R. F. Dietrich at dietrich@shawsociety.org.
More specifically, the
Bryden
Scholarship will provide free accommodation for three nights,
(July 15, 16, 17, 2019), free registration for the conference, and free
tickets for the two Shaw plays, GETTING MARRIED and MAN AND SUPERMAN. The ISS Travel
Grant, normally a maximum of $500 but those coming from overseas may
ask for more, contributes toward paying travel and registration expenses that
are not reimbursed. If you apply for and are awarded both a Bryden
Scholarship and a Travel Grant, that means that almost everything would be
paid for except most meals and local transportation. But note that a Travel
Grant winner without a Bryden Scholarship would be responsible for arranging
and paying for accommodations and most meals.
Acceptance of the
Travel Grant and/or Bryden Scholarship assumes that you will attend the
entire conference and present a paper or appear on a panel as scheduled, July
15-16-17, 2018. It’s highly recommend
that you read first the details of the Symposium as found at www.shawsociety.org/SummerSymposium-2019.htm. Send
questions to the ISS Webmaster, R. F. Dietrich, at dietrich@shawsociety.org. |
