Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark, and air travelers can take taxis or airport shuttles to Manhattan. Amtrak trains run to Penn Station, and Greyhound and other buses run to Port Authority. NYU's campus is accessible by multiple subway and bus lines. See the link "Getting to NYU" below for details

​Travel Grants

In an effort to expand and diversify the participants in the biannual conference, the Melville Society will be offering at least four travel grants to defray the cost of attendance for scholars of limited means (i.e. contingent faculty, graduate students without travel funding, scholars who are not otherwise able to afford international travel, or independent scholars). Grants will cover the registration fee and provide $300. Online application for travel grants will open after conference proposals have been accepted.

 Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the travel grant fund.
