BENEFITS
OF MEMBERSHIP in the INTERNATIONAL SHAW SOCIETY
(Click here to go
directly to a form printable on one page)
Membership in the ISS brings many
benefits, but one of the chief benefits comes from providing to the ISS
tax-deductible funds that can be used to support the scheduling of Shaw conferences,
symposia, sessions, and seminars and the giving of travel grants to the young
to attend such events. In this way your
regard and enthusiasm for Shaw can best be passed on. Please be as generous as you can in choosing
your level of membership (see form below). And there would be no objection if you
remember the ISS in your will! For all
gifts, the Recording Shaw will write your name in the Book of Life.

ISS
SCHOLARSHIPS, GRANTS, & PRIZES
As
one of the principal goals of the ISS is to encourage younger generations to
experience the delights 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, grants, and prizes, most of which are allied with
particular events, such as symposia and conferences. To that end, in six years fifty young
scholars have been awarded ISS Travel Grants to attend the annual Symposiums at
the Shaw Festival and the Shaw Conferences in 2004, 2006, and 2009. If you give a minimum of $500, the grant the
ISS gives with that can carry your name, if you wish.
