The AABS awards its Book Publication Subvention of up to $5,000 for individually authored books, edited volumes, and multiple-authored books in English that make a substantial scholarly contribution to Baltic Studies.

AABS awards two Book Publication Subventions each year. Applications may be submitted for review anytime, on a rolling basis.
