Pre-dissertation research trip to Latin America
The purpose of the award is to permit a short, exploratory research trip abroad (normally four to twelve weeks) to determine the feasibility of a Ph. D. dissertation topic dealing with some facet of Latin American history.

One or more travel grants will be awarded each year.  The funds are to be used only for international travel expenses.  The grant must be used during the summer following the award, unless there is prior approval from the Award Committee and the Executive Director of the Conference on Latin American History.  Under no circumstances is the award to be combined with a research grant for an extended stay.  Scobie awards may be used in combination with other funds as long as they are not for international travel.  The final report should indicate sources and amounts of all awards received.
