Secondary-sponsorship for lectures, conferences, workshops, exhibitions, performances, etc. Matching funds up to $3,000 Full-time faculty (non-visiting) and currently-enrolled students The Glasscock Center supports the humanities at Texas A&M University by co-sponsoring events that include visitors from outside the university who engage with research in the humanities, digital humanities, and humanistic social sciences.

Such activities include, but are not limited to, conferences, workshops, lectures, exhibitions, and performances. Co-Sponsorship grants provide matching funds up to $3,000. Matching funds may come from sources internal or external to the university.

Funds may be used to support such items as the travel and lodging of visitors, honoraria (no more than $2,000), guest receptions, and rental of space. Applications for events taking place up to three semesters in advance of the application deadline will be considered. Because decisions are made late in the semester, requests to support events scheduled for the semester in which the application is made will not be considered.

Retroactive requests will not be considered. All Texas A&M full-time faculty members in non-visiting positions and students may submit requests for Co-sponsorship Grants. Applicants should verify that their event does not conflict with the dates of major Center events by checking with our web calendar prior to the submission of an application.

(The Center will not fund events that conflict with our Book Prize Lecture, Fallon-Marshall series, or other major symposia or lectures.) Preference may also be given to individuals who have not received funding under this program in the past year. Events should be held on the Texas A&M University campus and/or in our surrounding communities of Bryan/College Station.

Components of the events supported by the Glasscock Center must be free and open to the Texas A&M University community. All publicity must acknowledge the sponsorship of “The Melbern G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research.
