2024 TAA Conference Travel Grant Program
As part of our commitment to removing barriers to attendance, TAA will be awarding five grants to cover conference registration and some travel costs for members in need to attend the 2026 TAA Conference on Textbook & Academic Authoring (location to be determined). The goal of the travel grant is to provide all members with the chance to gain valuable education while making meaningful connections at our conference.
Applications for the 2026 TAA Conference will open September 1, 2025.
