Dear ATTW Members:
We are now accepting applications for the New Scholar Moving fund, which will provide $250 to two ATTW members and recent graduates who are transitioning into their first academic position after graduation.
Originally proposed by Dr. Jamal-Jared Alexander and Dr. Rebecca Walton, the ATTW New Scholar Moving Fund helps with the transition time between institutions for recent graduates preparing to start their first post-graduate jobs. Specifically, the New Scholar Moving Fund prioritizes supporting scholars who 1) are marginalized and underrepresented, 2) graduated from a TPC PhD program in 2026, 3) have registered for and attended ATTW within the last 5 years, and 4) are preparing to start an academic job later this year.
The application process is simple—just complete this Google form by September 30th, 2026.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Laura
