The European Association for American Studies provides two types of travel grants. Postgraduate students in the Humanities and Social Sciences who are registered for a higher research degree at any European university may apply. Two kinds of grants are available: the Transatlantic Grant and the Intra-European Grant. It is expected that four scholarships will be available this year. The maximum single award granted may amount to EUR 2,000.

The European Association for American Studies (EAAS) is pleased to announce a new biennial award for the best book manuscript in American Studies. The award is named for Rob Kroes, who served as Treasurer (1976–1988) and President (1992–1996) of EAAS.

At the EAAS Conference in Dublin in 2010, the American Studies Network, a group of 17 European centers involved in the study of the United States, awarded its biennial prize for a remarkable monograph published in English in the field of American Studies to Peter Messent and Christopher Bigsby.
