Lourdes Benería Award

Details
The Lourdes Benería Award for summer field research supports students studying gender and planning in Latin America or the Caribbean.
The award was established in 2018 with a generous gift from Lourdes Benería. LACS manages the awards, which fund up to $2,000 for in-country travel and field expenses directly related to dissertation or project paper research (not conference travel or international airfare).
If you need a grant for the cost of international airfare to get to the country of your study site from the U.S., please apply for an Einaudi Center Travel Grant.
Eligibility
Recipients must be enrolled (full-time or in absentia) in a graduate degree program and be registered at the time of the award. Students must be Cornellians doing research in Latin America or the Caribbean.
Notification of award selection will be sent in late March.
