Travel Grants

To broaden participation in the annual Conference, AMIA has developed a travel grant program to help defray costs and encourage attendance for those who might not otherwise be able to attend. Travel grants are funded through the generosity of AMIA members and donors.

Travel grant applications for AMIA 2022 have closed.

AMIA Community Fund

The AMIA Community Fund was established to pay tribute to the work of AMIA members, and offer colleagues, friends and families a way to honor contributions to the moving image field. The Fund provides grants of up to $1,000 for travel to the annual Conference. The Community Fund is funded through members and donors, and not through the general AMIA budget. The number of travel grants each year is based on donations received. The Savada Family Legacy Travel Grants and the Community Fund Travel Grants share a single application form.

Consider a donation the Community Fund! Your donation is an opportunity to support the work of colleagues, friends, and professionals who ensure that our media culture is accessible today and tomorrow.

Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grants

The Savada Family Legacy Fund Travel Grant offers two grants, up to $1,000 each, in funding for travel costs to the annual AMIA conference.
