Travel grants between adjunct work and program start

[northwestnative]

Howdy, helpful folks. A pretty niche question that I thought someone might have a clever response to: I'm on a panel at ALA in Boston this May, but my adjunct work will already be over, and I won't start a PhD program until August. Anyone know about any lit- or adjunct-specific grants or opportunities that might be able to help me fly across the country?

You all are stellar. Many thanks!

tbh, all i can think of is that sometimes the conferences themselves will offer grad student travel grants or may help accommodate presenters/panelists. it might be too late, though. you could also maybe try getting in touch with whatever program whose offer you decide to accept and see if you can kickstart any travel funds now. i'm assuming the answer will be no, but it may be worth a shot. wish i had more for you!
