Elliott Oring Student Stipends

Western States Folklore Society awards three student travel stipends of $200 each to students coming to the conference to deliver a paper.

To qualify, a student must indicate they are applying for the stipend, submit their abstracts before the deadline, and submit both a 100-150 word abstract for publication in the program and a 350 word abstract in which the paper is described in more detail with special attention to the conceptual point of the paper. Some preference is given to students who come from afar and incur significant travel expenses in coming to the meeting.
