to the Annual Meeting. Expenses include mileage for attendees who 
traveled by car or plane tickets for attendees who traveled by air. 
Travel grants can also include hotel costs, meals, on-site and 
conference related wifi, and cab/ridesharing costs. /Accessibility

*Background:*In 2015, the APSA Executive Council approved a new standing 
Committee on First Generation Higher Education Scholars in the 
Profession, parallel to the existing status committees on Asian-Pacific 
Americans, Blacks, Latinos y Latinas, LGBT Individuals, Women, Graduate 
Students, and Contingent Faculty in the Profession. The goal is to bring 
focused attention to the ways in which class, economic inequality, and 
mobility can affect political scientists’ ability to thrive 
educationally and professionally, perhaps throughout their careers.
