Thanks to generous support from the Wenner-Gren Foundation, we can offer five travel awards of up to NZ$1000 each for ASAA/NZ 2025 conference participants from low- and middle-income countries.* This travel award is to help financially support participants without access to funding, such as precarious scholars and postgraduate students without institutional support. Priority will be given to applicants from Oceania and Southeast Asia given their proximity to Aotearoa New Zealand and travel affordability.

Applications are due by 31 August 2025.

Visit our conference webpage for more information about the travel awards, including:

Please note: Travel awards are conditional upon your abstract being accepted by the ASAA/NZ Conference Organising Committee. If your abstract is not accepted for the conference, your travel award application will be automatically withdrawn, and you will be notified accordingly.

* Postgraduate students studying anthropology at a New Zealand university are welcome to apply to our Kākano Fund.
