1st Bank Conference Travel Grants

With generous support provided from 1st Bank, the Center for Judaic Studies is proud to be able to offer grants of up to $500.00 to attend and/or present papers at conferences that benefit your course of study at the University of Denver. All grants are made on a rolling basis throughout the year. Higher priority is given to students who have not received a CJS 1st Bank Travel Grant in the past.

Conference grants are available for University of Denver students doing work in Judaic Studies. For undergraduates, priority is given to Judaic Studies minors. For graduate students, priority is given to students presenting original research.

To apply:

1. Submit a one-page description of the conference, your plans at the conference, and how the conference experience will affect your study program.
2. A simple budget for the conference travel.
3. A letter from your advisor explaining how this conference supports your overall study plans.

All 1st Bank Travel grantees will be required to submit a 500 word essay about their experience. All submissions are subject to being posted on the CJS website. The essay must be submitted with receipts that will be reimbursed following the conference.

Please submit all materials electronically to Sarah Pessin at spessin@du.edu. Applicants will be notified within two weeks of their application date.
