This may include research, conferences, visiting scholars, and performances. Since GAB and SAAB fund two different types of student projects, unfortunately one can only apply to one but not both. If you believe that your project seems more like a GAB project, click here to check it out. We understand that much research is adding upon previous work, and we support this, too. If you'd like to do a research project, we generally recommend that you apply the semester before so that you can find competitive airfare prices and plan out your itinerary.
Applicants planning summer research projects typically apply during the spring.
Conference, Performance, and Visiting Scholar grants are much more flexible. Many applicants for performance grants apply a semester early. All in all, it's really up to you and how much time you'd like to give yourself. The signatures are to show that your project is supported and that you've taken all of the necessary steps to ensure its completion, and each signature represents a different facet of this. The two SAAB members are meant to help you, to review your application, and to give you hints on how better to present your application.
