Dear Members and Friends of the Society for Text and Discourse,

We are deeply grateful to announce that the Kintsch family has made a generous founding donation to establish the Walter Kintsch Travel Award Fund. This fund will support graduate students and early-career researchers attending our annual meetings, removing financial barriers and ensuring that these scholars can participate fully in our community.

Walter Kintsch's groundbreaking contributions to our field continue to inspire new generations of researchers. Now, we have an opportunity to extend his legacy.

We invite you to join us in building this fund. Every contribution, whether large or small, will directly support scholars who might otherwise be unable to attend our meetings due to financial constraints.

The Kintsch family's generous gift has laid the foundation. Together, we can build a sustainable fund for years to come.

With gratitude,

Panayiota (Pani) Kendeou

Chair of the Governing Board, Society for Text & Discourse
