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

Shaw Conference in 2004.

5.) TRAVEL GRANT ANNOUNCEMENTS IN THE PAST
(for illustration and comparison):
Below are examples of typical ISS
events that in most years provide an opportunity to apply for Travel Grants
and/or Bryden Scholarships:

three to five ISS Travel Grants each year to complement Bryden Scholarships
(which provide accommodations) 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, scheduled in late July. For how to apply for this year’s Symposium
and other details, see http://www.shawsociety.org/SummerSymposium-2010.htm.
ISS
Travel Grants will be awarded to two to four “emerging scholars” to attend and
deliver a paper at the Annual Fall Shaw Symposium
