Note on Summer Shaw Symposiums &
Bryden Scholarships
As one of the
principal goals of the ISS 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 in the form of scholarships, travel grants, and prizes, most of which
are allied with particular events, such as symposia and conferences. In the
past, for illustration:
v Five young scholars were awarded Best Paper Awards at the USF Sarasota
Shaw Conference in 2004.
v Eleven received ISS Hampton-Hussey Travel Grants to the Shaw Conference
at Brown University in June 2006.
v Four were awarded ISS Travel Grants (which supplemented Bryden
Scholarships offered by the Shaw Festival) at the Shaw Festival’s Shaw
Symposium in July 2005.

August 2006.
v Four ISS Travel Grants (with Bryden Scholarships) at the Symposium in
July 2007.

the Chicago Cultural Center,
or the 11th Annual Shaw Symposium on July
25-27, 2014, at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.
For the Chicago Shaw Symposium, you are applying for
just a Travel Grant, which you are asked to justify in your filling in of the
form below. Use the same form for your
application for an ISS Travel Grant for the 2014 Shaw Symposium at the Shaw
Festival in Canada, July 25-27, 2014, which, if granted, may be combined with a
Bryden Scholarship from the Shaw Festival that will
provide free accommodation for three nights and free registration for the
conference. Typically, fewer Bryden
Scholarships are given than Travel Grants. The maximum amount for the Travel
Grant is normally $500. Acceptance of
this grant assumes that you will attend the entire conference and present a
paper or appear on a panel as scheduled.

5.) Further Explanation of how
ISS Travel Grants and Bryden Scholarships work together at the Summer Shaw
Symposiums:
Arrangements with the Shaw Festival have been made to award two
to five ISS Travel Grants each year to complement Bryden Scholarships (which
provide free accommodations for three nights & free registration) for
“emerging scholars” to attend and deliver a paper at the
Annual Summer Shaw Symposium at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the Lake
Ontario, usually scheduled in late July.
The ISS may also award Travel Grants that are not accompanied by Bryden
Scholarships, which means that the winner of a grant would be responsible for
arranging and paying for accommodations.
