Question:I am a permanent faculty member at a central (federally funded) university in Asia, and I have to attend a conference in Canada. It will cost approximately $ 2000 (USD) - including air-fare, board, lodging, and other expenses. This is a huge amount in my own curency. It is a very prestigious conference, and so it is a great honor to have had my paper accepted there. It would mean a lot for me to be able to attend this conference, and of course, it would be very disappointing to miss it due to a lack of funds. If you know of any agencies, institutes, organizations, trusts, or individuals that provide funding for attending conferences or seminars, please do let me know. The primary focus of the conference is on English language and literature. Thanks in advance to all answerers!
Answers:
Can you not ask your University to help fund the trip? I would think that the international attention you would get would help increase their status as well, and would thus make them more likely to want to help you out with the expenses. Good luck.
The first thing to do is to ask the conference organizers. They may have some money for travel support for people from developing nations.
Second - is your country in the British Commonwealth? There might be a Commonwealth grant you could apply for.
Beyond that, an awful lot will depend on which Asian country you come from.
