==Barry Leeds Travel Fund==
To honor the memory of the late Barry H. Leeds, one of the founders of the Mailer Society, his family and friends have established The [[Norman Mailer Society/Barry Leeds Travel Fund|Barry Leeds Travel Fund]]. In 2017, the Fund will award $100 travel grants to students attending the next Society conference in Sarasota (October 26, 27 and 28). The Society will also accept applications for a $500 award to scholars traveling to the University of Texas-Austin to study the Mailer papers at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. A brief letter explaining the applicant’s research project should be sent to Society Board member, Dr. Robert Begiebing (<code>rbegiebing [at] comcast [dot] net</code>) by March 15, 2017. He and Board member Dr. Bonnie Culver will chose a winner. Only one $500 award will be given in 2017; in future years, if the Leeds Travel Fund grows, more awards will be given.
