NEWCA Travel Award:
The NEWCA Award is given to presenters from groups and institutions under-represented in mainstream writing center work to offset travel expenses.  We are using the term “under-represented” to refer to individuals from socio-cultural groups under-represented in writing center work, and to institutions under-represented, such as high school writing centers, historically black institutions, urban institutions, and community colleges. Maximum amount awarded is $400 for an individual or $800 for a group (at least 4 presenters).

Winners are selected based on their presentations’ contribution to writing center practice and research.
Applicants will be required to submit a budget of expected costs for attending the conference.
