The IAS awards an annual total of $2,000 in grants to essay writers and translators of essay-length work. Grant awards range from $250 to $1,000. Essay-length work is considered to be approximately 20-50 pages (10,000-25,000 words). Completed essays will be considered for publication in the IAS journal Perspectives on Anarchist Theory or as part of a small books series in collaboration with AK Press.

Grant recipients will be expected to complete their project within six months of receiving the award (usually August 30 or January 31 of a given year).

Application deadlines are January 15 and June 15 of each year. These deadlines are firm, and applications received after these deadlines will be considered in the next cycle of grants. Awards are made in February and July, and replies will be mailed to applicants within six weeks after the deadlines.

We strongly encourage all applicants to complete the application form online. If you are unable to apply online, please write us to request a paper copy of the application, or download and print the application form. Requests and completed applications should be mailed to: PO Box 15586, Washington, DC 20003
