Dear Friends of the T’ang Studies Society,
I am writing to remind you that the deadlines for the Society’s various grant programs are approaching. The Board of Directors and I hope that you and your graduate students will take advantage of the opportunities these grants represent to further research in the area of Tang Studies.
Descriptions of the available grants can be found at the Society’s website:

As you know, membership has other rewards besides the Society’s grant programs. All members receive the journal Tang Studies as well as online access to the full run of its back issues.
