Travel Grants

World Association for Chinese Studies · award criteria

Travel grants are awarded to students without an income. Doctoral candidates count as students for this purpose — provided they have no earnings. This rule has been applied unchanged for ten years.

旅费资助面向没有收入的学生。就此而言,博士候选人视同学生, 但前提是没有收入。此项规则十年来未曾更动。

Two conditions, both required

A grant requires both of the following. Meeting one of them alone creates no entitlement.

1. Academic quality. The paper must reach the point threshold in the threefold double-blind review.
2. No income. The applicant must be a student, doctoral candidates included, without earnings.

资助须同时满足两项条件,仅满足其一并不构成请求权:一、论文须在 三重双盲评审中达到分数线;二、申请人须为没有收入的学生(含博士候选人)。

What counts as an income

The decisive question is not the academic degree but the earnings. A scholarship that merely covers living costs does not count as an income. A salaried position does — regardless of how modest it is, and regardless of the quality of the paper.

SituationEligible?
MA or BA student, no earningsyes
Doctoral candidate, scholarship covering living costs onlyyes
Doctoral candidate who is also a teaching fellow, assistant or ATER, e.g. €1,200 a monthno
Post-doc, lecturer, professor, or any employed researcherno

决定性的不是学位,而是收入。仅维持基本生活的奖学金不计为收入;受薪职位则计为收入, 无论金额多么有限,也无论论文多么优秀。例如:博士候选人同时担任教学助理、助教或 ATER 并每月领取 约 1200 欧元者,不符合评定标准

Amount and payment

The amount is set by the Board for each conference and is paid at the registration desk against signature, on condition that the recipient attends in person. A grant that has been paid must be returned in full if the recipient does not attend.

金额由理事会逐届议定,于签到台凭签收领取,并以本人亲自出席为条件。已领取资助而未 出席者,须全额退还。
