<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">To be eligible, undergraduate students must be enrolled in one of four DISCO interdisciplinary programs—American Indian Studies (minor), Asian American Studies (minor), Disability
Studies (minor), and/or Sexuality Studies (minor or major). Graduate students must be enrolled in the GIS in Disability Studies or Sexuality Studies and/or delivering a paper or doing research on a topic relevant to American Indian Studies, Asian American
Studies, Disability Studies, and/or Sexuality Studies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Awards are competitive (i.e., reviewed by a selection committee) and will be decided on the basis of the significance of the travel to the student's academic and/or professional
development and the potential for the student's work to contribute to greater understanding of the field in which they are working. Applications will be reviewed until the budget is depleted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
