|
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 https://www.shawsociety.org/ISSMembership21.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.) APPLICATION FOR ISS TRAVEL GRANTS TO THE CÁCERES, SPAIN
CONFERENCE ON MAY 27-29, 2020. (canceled BUT MAY BE RESCHEDULED IN 2022). To get information about
the conference, go to https://shawsociety.org/CFP-SHAW-IN-EUROPE.htm and then follow the
links at the bottom. Normally,
“emerging scholars” from North America attending conferences and symposia in
the U.S.A and Canada are restricted to $500 in an application for a Travel
Grant, but for events in Europe may apply for more if a case can made for
that. Follow the “Application Instructions”
below. |

4.) APPLICATION FOR BRYDEN SCHOLARSHIPS & ISS TRAVEL GRANTS FOR
THE ISS SYMPOSIUM IN 2021 (July 16-17-18) In
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario:
For the 2021 Summer
Symposium in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Bryden Scholarships are
available and will pay for accommodation for the three nights of the
Symposium, free
registration for the conference, and a free ticket for the Shaw play, THE
DEVIL’S DISCIPLE, at The Shaw Festival (see shawfest.com for other plays
offered);
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 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 March 15, 2021.
The deadline for applying for just a Travel Grant is also March 15,
2021. 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@usf.org.
Acceptance
of the Travel Grant and/or Bryden Scholarship assumes that you will attend
the entire Symposium and present a paper or appear on a panel as scheduled,
July 16-17-18, 2021. It’s highly recommended that you read first the details of the
Symposium as found at https://shawsymposium2021.weebly.com/. Send questions to jennifer-buckley@uiowa.edu. 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.
