Grant Overview

The US Virgin Islands' graduate students are well-positioned to share their research on Caribbean culture at a regional gathering. With a population of 109,000 people, the territory has a unique cultural heritage, including its African influences and colonial history. However, the island's limited infrastructure and high cost of living create challenges for students seeking to attend academic conferences. This funding opportunity is designed to enable graduate students from the Virgin Islands to share their research on Caribbean culture. To qualify, applicants must be currently enrolled in a graduate program and demonstrate a focus on Caribbean cultural studies. The application requires a research abstract, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member, and a detailed budget for travel expenses. Unlike other US territories, the Virgin Islands require applicants to demonstrate knowledge of the territory's unique history, music, and art. The funding prioritizes students researching contemporary issues affecting Caribbean communities, such as climate change and cultural preservation. The Virgin Islands' economy, which is driven by tourism, will benefit from the research findings. The territory's infrastructure, including its ports and airports, will also be impacted by the research. With this funding, graduate students from the Virgin Islands will be able to share their expertise and learn from other scholars in the field. ## Readiness Requirements for Virgin Islands Graduate Students Applicants must demonstrate knowledge of the territory's unique history, music, and art. ## Caribbean Culture Research Priorities This funding prioritizes research on contemporary issues affecting Caribbean communities, such as climate change and cultural preservation. ## Regional Collaboration Opportunities The Virgin Islands' participation in regional gatherings will facilitate collaboration with other scholars and researchers.
